#199. monkey business

Solas (who have a website in name only) promised to show a little initiative by offering complementary dim sum on the Chinese New Year. So, with fond memories of pot stickers, pork dumplings and crab balls, we headed along on the night in question. But after several tasty aperitifs (answering one of these questions) at an even tastier midweek promotion price, there was no sign of the savoury treats. The barman subsequently divulged that they'd been and gone and that they weren't that great anyway.

Regardless of the culinary discernment of this particular man-wench, if you erroneously advertise your dim sum as "spring rolls, sushi, ect." (sic) then they were hardly going to be the genuine article anyway. Pushing sushi on the Chinese New Year is like giving away Crème Brulée and Falafel on Paddy's Day.

Also, "hello and a jammy good morning" to spod, who always logs off between heys. A bit like someone whose idea of a good conversation is: "How are you today? Did I tell you about..." in the same breath.
