November Event: Chinatown Walking Tour and Dim Sum Luncheon

You are in for a treat!  Fort Shafter Hui member and Chinatown expert Joy Hollinrake has offered to take us all on a cultural and culinary tour of Chinatown…ending with a 10-course dim sum tasting menu at Chinatown dim sum institution, Fook Lam!  Members are free to bring a spouse or a guest to this event!

If you want to join the tour, we will depart from outside Fook Lam Seafood Restaurant promptly at 10:00 am on foot to explore Joy’s favorite parts of Chinatown for about 45 minutes.

If you want to just join for the meal, please plan to meet us at Fook Lam no later than 10:45 am.  Under Joy's experienced guidance, we have arranged for a 10-course tasting menu of some of Fook Lam's best dim sum dishes: shrimp har gau, pork shumai, spinach and chive shrimp dumplings, mochi rice, deep fried taro puff, char siu pork bao, baked custard buns….and more!  If you don't know what some of those dishes are, come find out!  The cost is $30 per member and includes tax and tip, as well as hot jasmine tea - which is traditionally served with dim sum - and water.  

Please note:  Dim sum is not necessarily the cuisine of choice for those with seafood allergies.  Even innocuous-sounding dishes may include “essence” of seafood items to add flavor, and often shellfish like shrimp or scallops. Keep this in mind!
