A friend of mine started a Dim Sum Facebook group which is thriving nicely - we have a core of about 4-6 people who come every week and a larger number of floaters (I think the best turnout we had was around 12 people). We were going to Tong Por originally but Kam Fung has become our permanent venue at this point - better food, more variety, less expensive. Things that must be eaten: - Those flat shrimp/pork/chive dumplings, lightly fried - Salt & pepper deep fried tofu (I'm addicted to this) - Steamed bbq pork buns Nice to see some Kam Fung love on teh internets.

Food is always fresh. Service is as expected and it's pretty good, too. Once your table is called, you're ok. I will only eat there for dim sum unless a friend of mine suggests a good place Someone mentioned the Tong Por? Well, i used to eat there a lot (upstairs). I was praising the place left right and center to a friend i brought there for a first experience - and we were served rancid squid. I spit it out. I never went back again and i returned to the Kam Fung. I also ate in the Tong Por (downstairs) and never had a problem. For me, since then, i doubt Tong Por! I would say location is pretty important for a dim sum house, the place on the south shore is really good too, but for me, it's really out of the way. I only ate there once. Kam Fung is right in Chinatown and the walk through it...is great - all the cute little shops, street vendors, and fruit stores. Thanks for reading, Babe Hi-ee everyone,

In fact, I’ve eaten quite a few very good breakfasts that I should have written about but felt I could not do them justice without a photo or two. Many have been things that I have already blogged about, like the bagelettes we made last week and the Tropicanas we also enjoyed, plus the multitude of scrambles and over-easy’s and smoothies and sometimes just a small bowl of cottage cheese with banana slices in it. I even went for Dim Sum on the south shore, which I will post about very soon . . . once I download the photos taken by a friend who has his own camera.

Is it even possible for two people to eat that much food in one sitting? I haven't been to the Kam in about 6 years. It was always a favorite though, and everytime I try to make it out for an early afternoon brunch, I always end up sleeping too late and miss out. Not this weekend though! PS - I love your blog! (the maple syrup egg cups and banana-challa sandwiches are tops!)

I don't know the name or location of the place on the south-shore, but I have been on the lookout. I'll email you if I find out before you post about it. Andrea, the place you're reffering to is on the south-east corner. It's called UNI and it is one of my favourite shops in Chinatown. Yes Spanky, I am that guy.

Andrea, There were 2 grocery stores on the northwest corner that were pretty similar, so I don't know which one you mean - I guess it's time for a trip to chinatown! Cranberry, You are a wealth of information! I had never heard of Tong-Por, but I will check it out. Are you good with synonyms, if you know what I mean? Also , do you know the name of the south shore Dim Sum place? Beth,

Most of it was ready in 10 to 15 minutes, but the sticky rice took quite a bit longer.

You've definitely made me want to try Kam Fung now, and I'd love to hear what you think of my fave, Lotte Furama (entrances on both Clark & St-Laurent, just south of Rene-Levesque) My friends & I prefer to go on Saturdays because we don't like waiting in the Sunday lineups, and Lotte Furama has many larger tables, and we've been up to 11 people seated at the table with no problem. Everything is scrumptious and I now get cravings for it... let us know! Great post.

Thanks for that, Spanky. Dim Sum is such a wonderful thing. Before you go exploring the South-Shore, you still have to check out Tong-Por, Lotte, and Chez Chine (and that's just in Chinatown). I would skip Ruby Rouge, though. The last two times I went were disappointing. Keep it up, Spanky. I always enjoy reading you. Hot dang! Thanks for that, Spanky. Dim Sum is such a wonderful thing.
