Lunch today was at one of my favorite sit down dimsum spots in the Bay Area.

Ming’s Tasty in Oakland Chinatown. Get there before 11 ideally so you don’t have to fight old Chinese ladies.

The food is good quality, substantial. As cheap as the famous takeout dimsum spots of SF Chinatown / Clement St: way better quality. Almost as good as my fave dimsum spots that cost 2x more.

This place is really good and I’ll be really sad if they ever closed.

After lunch if you still have space, get some Chinese breads at Napoleon Super Bakery, which I also really love.

Lots of good Chinese grocery stores there for all the essential items.

Remember I keep saying that the best tofu is in Chinese and Vietnamese markets in unmarked bags? This is what it looks like (seen in a Oakland Chinatown grocer)
