A week ago, I wrote about my visit<\/a> to the ongoing revitalization of Elmhurst\u2019s Food Court at 8202 45th Ave and promised to show you a close up of some of the dim sum I brought home from Happy Market, so here\u2019s a quick overview of three examples:<\/p>\n

\n\"\"<\/a>
\nBeef Ball. Finely pulverized beef, classically served over bean curd skin with Worcestershire sauce on the side just as you\u2019ve probably experienced in your favorite dim sum parlor. Tasty.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nSiu Mai (or Shu Mai). A universal favorite executed perfectly here. These are larger than the typical dumpling and it\u2019s clear why: I discovered a whole shrimp in one of these \u2013 no, not a baby shrimp, but a seriously good sized specimen! Big hunks of pork as well \u2013 the word \u201chearty\u201d comes to mind. The texture of the filling is robust and chunky (as it should be) and its flavor is excellent.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nChiu Chao Fan Guo (or Teochow Fun Kor or so many other clever Anglicizations). The thick glutinous rice wrapper envelops mushrooms, peanuts, pork, Chinese chives and more; I cut one open to give you an idea of the inner workings. As juicy as it appears in the photo.<\/p>\n

All were truly delicious and left me wanting more \u2013 and as I mentioned, it\u2019s back on my Ethnic Eats in Elmhurst food tour. And if you\u2019re curious about which of the many dim sum items we actually indulge in, well, you\u2019ll just have to take the tour! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
