Shangri-La in West Bloomfield, MI

A couple of our friends took us to Shangri-La last weekend for the best dim sum in Michigan. It was very good--still not as good as Hawai'i--but definitely better than our Ann Arbor/Ypsilanti favorite, Great Lakes. We had har gau, custard tarts, gin dui, jook (congee), a fried chive thing, taro puff, look fun, turnip cake, sticky rice, shu mai, and our friends ordered some squid and intestines, but I don't eat those. Compared to Great Lakes, it was definitely better. The sticky rice had more "goodies" (lup cheong, etc.) inside. The seafood tasted fresher. It is about forty minutes from Ann Arbor though so I think we will probably still stick with Great Lakes most of the time.

We also saw a family there that Kea is convinced is from Hawai'i. There was a little girl, a teenager, and an adult woman. The woman looked Local and Kea says he was further convinced by the way she was wearing her hair clip.
