Food Porn Friday- Capital Seafood Dim Sum

Loving the cold front that’s slowly moving into SoCal this week…Chilly mornings often call for one of my favorite meals:  Piping hot plates of crispy football pork chews, bbq buns, some chicken feet, and xiao long bao all washed down with blistering pots of fresh Chrysanthemum tea.  There’s just something about dishing and dining over dim sum that reminds me of my childhood and really starts the day off just right.  A little nostalgia goes a long way in my book.  It's all about sense memory, right?!

 
2700 Alton Pkwy. #127
Irvine, CA 92606
(949) 252-8188

 *Insider's tip:  Located at the famed Diamond Plaza on Jamboree in the heart of Irvine, this mecca for all meals Asian also feature some of the boldest and brightest establishments to come out of OC since Bolsa hit the scene in the early 80's.  Make sure to leave plenty of room for pastries and treats from 85deg bakery and trendy brick toast from the neighboring Guppy House.  Come hungry, leave happy!  Diamond Plaza needs to update their motto foreals!*

Hope y'all celebrate a Happy St. Patty's day weekend!
