Chinese markets with NYC dim sum trucks in CNJ?

More than 10ish years ago, there was a Chinese market where the Moroccan restaurant and school uniform store is now in Parsippany, on 46 West. They would send a truck into NYC on Saturday mornings and load it up with fresh dim sum stuff - shumai, har gao, seven treasures rice in banana leaves, all the classics. Top Quality Food Market/Maxim's still does this but on a far smaller scale.

Does anyone know if any Chinese markets in central NJ do this? I don't think Kam Man does, but I haven't been out to verify and I might just do that today.

Kam Man has a great selection of baked and steamed buns as soon as you walk in the door. The pork, chicken curry and scallion buns are the best in my opinion. They have steamed buns, but they are not that great.

I'm a NYC expat. Since coming to the darkside, as many of my freinds have said, I've found that most good things in NYC are made in NJ.

I was thinking more of the dim sum items; I'm already in love with their buns. :-D
