Hey Colin,

Can you post a link? Do you have your menu worked out yet? Would love to hear about what you are doing up there.

I am wondering what the chances of dim sum in Victoria, or anywhere on Vancouver Island are? Any suggestions?

Thanks

I'd go with Don Mee's. It's pretty basic dim sum. Van Isle isn't known for having a large number of Chinese restaurants, unfortunately.

Yeah selection is pretty slim. Don Mee isn't bad but if you're use to paying Vancouver Dim Sum prices be ready to be surprised.

We're going to Blue Crab this coming weekend. Hopefully pics to follow.

The only link is one for Tourism Nanaimo and they'vs changed the dates so I will have to call them in the morning to get the scoop. Nothing outrageous with the menu as March is when we see the majority of our local owners in house and we tend to be very busy, we will definetly be putting the wood fired grill and rotisserie to work though. Unfortunetly no gingerbread pudding, although my pastry chef does make some mean cheesecakes (maybe even a gingerbread pudding flavoured one) as well we will run our Tuxedo Mousse.

edit. dates are confirmed as March 1 - 30
