I am trying to avoid the crowd traveling north of the border on the weekend so I'm taking off for Futian via the rapid train on a Friday afternoon. Not surprisingly, the station was almost empty without a soul.
As soon as I steered clear of the immigration counter, I immediately raced towards One Avenue Shopping Complex (卓悦中心).
At 2:10pm, I wasn't expecting a lineup in front of Tao Tao Ju (陶陶居), my go-to dim sum restaurant in Shenzhen.
It didn't take long for the hostess to find me a table.
Signature Hong Kong style milk tea (招牌港式奶茶) (¥22) – A thirst-quenching milk tea to start things off as usual.
Tao Tao Ju jumbo prawn dumpling (陶陶居大蝦餃) (¥36) – If I can only indulge in one dim sum here, this is the one to choose. The prawn dumplings were once again very tasty. The minced prawns and diced bamboo shoots both meshed well with the delicate wrapper.
Stir-fried choy sum with lard (豬油渣爆炒菜心) (¥39) – Something green to stay healthy. And who would say no to lard!
I'm saving some room for my early dinner so just two dishes would do the trick for me.
