Dim Sum at Happy Day
Some pregnant women crave chocolate, some crave pickles and ice cream. I craved dim sum. I've given birth two times over since then and the dim sum obsession remains. Fortunately, I live five minutes away from Happy Day on Waialae Ave.
Happy Day is a good, reliable, clean Chinese restaurant. (I only mention this because I've been to many a questionably clean Chinese restaurant that are good some days and inedible on others). It's a place that you won't be embarrassed to bring your guests. I've never been a pork chop fan, but their Salt & Pepper Porkchop is absolutely ono. They also make a finger-lickin'-good Black Bean Crab. But that is another blog...
It's amazing how much dim sum gets served in a single day at Happy Day. It's a fairly large restaurant, but it's not uncommon to see every table filled during lunch. Our perennial favorites include Half Moon ($2.68), Shrimp and Spinach ($2.68), Scallop Dumpling ($2.68), Mochi Rice (in leaf) ($3.25), Baked Char Siu Bao ($2.68), Taro Gok (deep fried taro with yummy pork filling) ($2.68), Pan-Fried Turnip Cake ($2.68), and Gin Dui ($2.68).
Siu Mai (aka Pork Hash). Has shrimp inside.
Shrimp and Spinach.
Shrimp Dumpling
Scallop Dumpling
Half Moon has Chinese parsley in it, which is a wonderful twist on the standard
Baked Char Siu Bao is sticky on the outside and has just enough dough to keep the pork inside. Meat in every bite.
PAKE TIP 1: Get 25% off your dim sum 8:00-11:30 AM if you do Take Out. Perfect for scoring brownie points with your co-workers. A discount and no need tip. What more could you ask for?
PAKE TIP 2: Happy Day also has dinner specials where you can try the Salt & Pepper Porkchop and Black Bean Crab (among others). Dinner for four is $63, for six is $84.
