Ding How
A few weekends ago we revisited Ding How for another round of dim sum. First time around was good if slightly frantic in terms of service, which was understandable considering it was their first weekend of serving dim sum. The manager was so frazzled after that first weekend she considered abandoning the menu system and going to dim sum carts, which I was glad to discover they didn’t end up doing after all. With a large, high-traffic restaurant the cart system works great, but not so much with a cozier layout like Ding How where food might sit on the carts for a long time after cooking.

Thanks to Scott for doing a bit of intel work for us. Either by tapping his Chinese connections or by going behind enemy lines himself, he’s managed to acquire a copy of Ding How’s dim sum menu, which he then graciously shared with us.

Personally, I wouldn’t turn down free publicity, but that’s just me. Anyway, hit up the menu and start salivating. The debut of dim sum in Jackson is only 5 days away!
