Following my trip to Vietnam I was really craving a bite of seafood wrapped in a rice flour so I headed out to Elite again to sample some of the dumplings that I'd missed last time. I was in luck on this trip and got to try the wonderful red clam and shark fin dumplings that they had run out of on my last visit. Aside from these, shrimp hargow was another favorite dish as were the rich slices of roasted pork belly. Nicole and I both agreed that we'd pass next time on the roast duck. I might prefer the sense of discovery that comes with the passing steam carts at some of the larger dim sum houses, but it's the food at Elite that will keep me coming back.
