Hong Kong Dim Sum (A style of Chinese cuisine, prepared as small bite-sized portions of food served in small steamer baskets or on small plate.) It is the Chinese version of fast-food. The difference is that the server wheels over your choices on a cart. Expect a bustling atmosphere especially during brunch on weekends. A sign of people enjoying food and company!

I was THRILLED to find one so close to where we live here in the U.S. When Nelson and I were dating, we would share a tall cup almost every week. Now we get OUR OWN tall cups... Lol. Coming from Singapore, this is something that reminds me of home. I encourage you to be ADVENTUROUS and try something new! Your mouth will not soon forget it! I am a creature of habit and always get the Earl Grey Milk Tea with 3Js. You can customise the sugar and ice levels too. I do 30% sugar and NO ICE. It comes cold already. More bang for my buck!
They have board games available for patrons too. The outlet at Plano, although just a tad further away, has more space and is usually less crowded.

Shopping
Everyone who come to Dallas either goes to NorthPark Mall or Galleria for shopping. NorthPark is consistently ranked among the top five shopping destinations in the country and, with more than 26 million visitors annually, has been named the top attraction in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex by the Dallas Business Journal.
However this place is more than just for shopping. My family and I personally like how the mall injects Art and Culture appreciation in the free exhibits and performances throughout the year. The seasonally decorations are gorgeous. They even have an indoor pond with the cutest white ducks and terrapins.
