IF - "Tea"

Here's a throwback from a local dim-sum restaurant. So far I've been recommended to check out one restaurant in Alemeda, San Francisco, and Toronto (thanks Terry). Any additional recommendations are welcomed.

I found a good dim sum place on my first visit to Toronto, Ontario, Canada in October 2004. Now I live there and just last weekend I returned to this restaurant with my parents, visiting from out of town, and they were also duly impressed. Further, I learned they have special dishes only prepared for the weekend crowds, such as seafood cumpling and shrimp cake.

Teri, that sounds great! The dim-sum places I've gone to were only open durning the late afternoons. I'm still on the look out for a great dim-sum place. If I ever head up to Toronto, I will have to ask you for the restaruant name. Thanks.

Well, I can't make a recommendation, but I can give you a commendation - I like your teapot sketch! It's nice and loose and just right!

Great blog. Thanks for visiting mine. How about we blogroll each other?

Thank you everyone for the comments and recommendations.

giles - yes, this was done when I was still experimenting with watercolors. I think I put over 3 layers of different colors because I was not satisfied. I pretty much worked on it continuously throughout dinner, lucky my friends didn't mind :)

Very cool--like an illustrated journal entry od sorts--nice personal touch here. Good to see you posting more--love the sketch-crawl pieces.

G -- the name of the dim sum place in Toronto is Rainbow Seafood. It is run by Vietnamese I discovered! It is just a few paces West of Spadina Ave. (you can take a streetcar) on Dundas St. Cheers, T

P.S. I think you should do more tea pots. I like to drink tea, very healthy habit. And I am the only person I know who has a pattern for making tea cozies.

Thanks Steve. I hope to display my next Sketchcrawl in a more creative format.

Thanks Teri for the exact name of the place in Toronto, I wish I could drive there after work!

I actually plan to submit one more "tea" entry by the end of this week.

Oh, the tea cozies are brilliant, I really never knew about them until you mentioned them. Now, to look for a design to my liking....hmmmm.

Oh, the ice-cream sleeves are brilliant too. I will be ordering a couple thanks to the link you provided :)

Thanks for the dim-sum recommendation - sounds like a good one to check out...if this rain can take a break?!
