Of all of the great food I love eating in Taiwan, dim sum is definitely at the top of my list. We have a favorite restaurant that takes reservations, which is a must considering that our group can be as large as 16. This time, we only had 6, but we still had a great time. My mom is an expert at ordering dim sum — she knows exactly how to maximize diversity of dishes without being excessive. If I inherit anything from her (besides great skin), I hope it’s this useful talent. 
Here’s the gallery of our dim sum meal. As today is Thanksgiving, I dedicate this post to my family. Not only are they really supportive and fun (see above), but they were also super enthusiastic at helping me with my food blog. They were ever so patient with letting me take photos of everything before eating, and even going the extra step as my food stylists and models. Thanks family! xoxo
