The meal started with some dim sum. TBH I can never understand a (starred) Chinese restaurant specialized in Szechwan cuisine also offers dim sum. The platter includes steamed ”siew mai” topped with tobiko (蟹子蒸烧卖/蟹肉入り焼売), Steamed prawn dumplings (鲜虾饺/海老蒸し餃子), Steamed scallop dumplings (凤眼双子饺/ほたて餃子). Look at that poor prawn dumpling...😂🙄️Followed by some steamed crab meat dumplings (蟹肉苋菜饺 / 蟹の蒸し餃子)
