Imperial Gardens - Marine Building
Old Chinese proverb - "The eating of a 1000 meals begins with the picking of the right chopsticks". So it begins, the consumption of 1000 meals. How long will it take? a year or two?
How much weight will one gain? all for the sake of research.
We begin at the Imperial Gardens for dim sum. It's situated near the harbour, a building celebrating an Art Deco style gone long ago. The room is two-tiered, brightly lit by large windows with a life-affirming view of mountain and sea. Decor is nice, the place is populated by suits doing their power lunches.
We are escorted to a private room with three tables. Dim sum is served not by hostess with carts but with trays brought to each tables. Dish after dish are ordered. Tea is consumed.
The bill comes to $17 each, very expensive compared to other like restaurants.
We will be full for exactly 2 hours, when a second proverb about Chinese food will then come true.
