Today we took the Penrod family for the Chinese lunch, Dim Sum, in Irvine. While we were waiting to be seated, we ran over to the Asian Market and picked up a few items. We got seaweed, rice, sweet treats and cakes from the Chinese Bakery!
Fawn was excited to try all the new foods, but I couldn't talk her into the chicken feet - the dish on the bottom right.
Corrine, Emma, Carey and Fawn did try just about everything though.
Here is Holly and Emma with Barbecued Pork Buns and seasoned rice wrapped and steamed in tea leaves.
Here I am trying the cold Jellyfish. It was marinated in vinegar and seasonings. Jeff, Fawn, Carey, Holly, Corrine, Luke, and Shera all tried it too!
After lunch, we walked across the center near the pond and went to Lollycup for Boba. That is basically a Chinese fruit smoothie (all sorts of flavors) with black balls of tapioca at the bottom you can suck up with a straw and either chew or spit them out at each other. Sometimes the kids have wars with them! I know it sounds gross, but the kids have fun with it!

Thanks, we had a great time. First time in a long time we just took some time to relax!! We miss our Sunday dinners!
So...how was the cold jellyfish!?! Brave woman! I do like fish, but just the standard salmon and trout works for me! :)
you guys are so brave to try all these exotic foods!
