Trucking in LA

Finally, dim sum comes to you.  A new truck's rolling tomorrow morning in LA -- the dim sum truck. According to the post at Joshua Lurie's Food GPS:

“I want to make dim sum more accessible to everyone in LA.,” says Chu. “Distance has always been one thing that’s kept me from enjoying dim sum as often as I’d like, since I live by the Westside and really good dim sum is only in the San Gabriel Valley. If my truck can reach from the Valley to Silver Lake to Venice, everyone can enjoy my traditional and fusion style dim sum items whenever it’s near.”

Chu hired a team of cooks to make dim sum fresh each morning, including pork and shrimp shu mai, shrimp har gow, pan fried pork spare rib buns, baked BBQ pork buns, egg tarts and lotus sesame balls.

I'll be in LA next month -- and will hunt down the truck if it can't find me.  

Dim Sum is for Lovers

Yes -- we're talking again about Dim Sum Funeral, the movie that just opened in the U.S. in a limited release in Los Angles. If we're lucky, it will go almost straight to the Internet -- a first in bypassing the DVD, airline and crappy hotel movie markets. Good to hear from one of the reviewers, Amy Stoody, who posted to this site (see the Dim Sum Diner Poster below. )Also interesting that the promo shot involved pool action -- one would have hoped the steamy scenes were involved steam carts and a creative use of coconut shrimp balls, but that would have been too obvious. Who's seen it?
