Motown now a Dim Sum Destination

Just when you thought the only food you can get in Detroit is at a freeway exit or from a buffet at a casino (sorry, that's not fair), along toddles Shangri-La.


According to its review in about.com, Shangri-La bills itself as having “authentic Chinese cuisine” and has a wide variety of dishes, including duck, Hong Kong eggplant, lobster and crab. While it is also known for its Sushi and Congee, its main claim to fame is its Dim Sum or "Chinese Brunch." In fact, Shangri-La is one of the few restaurants in the Metro-Detroit area that offers it. 


It does serve up some imagination -- garlic chives pan cakes, parsley and scallop kao, and pan fried corn cake with shrimp paste are a few. Don't let the cake thing fool you -- there's a full range of other options as well.


And, if the slots, Tigers, Pistons or Lions aren't doing it for you, you can find Shangri-La in West Bloomfield.  Click here to go to a map and address.

If you get there, let us know what you think.  And, if Ted Nugent or Sparky Anderson are occupying that corner booth.
