Dim Sum - San José

This past Sunday, June 12th, we drove from our house in San Roque de Grecia to San José to have dim sum at Casa China.

We have previously eaten dim sum at this restaurant and I did a blog post on it here.

This Sunday, we were treated to a stage show of dancers and music. I made a short video:

This venue is typical of the dim sum restaurants we were accustomed to when we lived in Vancouver, British Columbia, and when we would go for dim sum in Richmond, B.C. Large open space with tables big enough for families to sit at. 

As is typical in dim sum restaurants, carts were rolled around with the prepared offerings and we could select what we wanted. Everything was very good.

Since we were going to San Jose, I wanted to combine dim sum with shopping at an Asian grocery store that came highly recommended. That would be Super Asia in the Tibas area of San Jose. They are open on Sundays. Here is what I bought:

Fish sauce, dried mushrooms, mirin, oyster sauce, candies, miso, and a packet of noodle soup.

Also, varieties of frozen dim sum: 

Note: we needed to use the Waze app numerous times to navigate where we wanted to go. It takes two people … the driver to listen to the instructions and the passenger to watch the on line instructions on what road to turn into next. Also BEWARE there are many serious potholes on some of these roads between Casa China and Super Asia.
