"Few foods are easier on dentures than steamed buns and dumplings. Every day from 11am to 3:30pm at Tropical Chinese, metal carts carrying pork buns and potstickers roll around the dining room floor. All you have to do is point at what you want, which is perfect for any grandparent who hates reading menus. If it’s their first dim sum at the Bird Road restaurant, be on the lookout for the shumai. These dumplings are filled with juicy pork and shrimp and delicately surrounded by a soft, thin wrapper. But if chicken is more their thing, go with the potstickers. The best part about dim sum is that it’s a shared experience—a fun one they get to have with you, their favorite grandchild." - mariana trabanino, virginia otazo
