SKYWATCH FROM MY BALCONY

FROM THE TRAVEL ARCHIVES

Bath 2011
St Michael's Catholic Church  The first church built in my hometown.
With its humble beginnings as a wooden shed in 1890, the present neo-Gothic building was completed in 1924.


The Sanctuary
Sunday brunch  Dim Sum 
Dim Sum in Cantonese literally translates as  'touch the heart'. The small portions are intended to merely touch the heart but not satiate the appetite. ๐Ÿงก
Little plates of heaven steaming in bamboo baskets.
Traditionally, dim sum is served from wheeled carts on small plates to encourage sampling and sharing.
These small portions enable diners to try a variety of dishes. Dim sum is best enjoyed with a large group of people.
There is always something for everyone.
Oops! Don't mind the hand! The dim sum shop we frequent is always busy, and I had to snap these pictures fast without pissing off the waiters!

Fried snacks
What's your favourite dim sum?

  1. Dearest Veronica,
    You most often show us some beautiful images—for body and soul!
    St. Michael's Church is a true gem and I love the gold lettering outside. That adds a very special touch.
    The Dim Sum looks all yummy and one cannot go wrong on any Asian food—we both LOVE it.
    Thanks for sharing and I've never seen the Brazilian potato tree!
    And the view from your balcony looks like a painting—such beauty captured.
    Big hugs,
    Mariette

  8. I'd much prefer dining on dim sum than consuming the always-too-much portions we are served here in America. I can never finish what I order!
    Blessings, Veronica!

  9. Beautiful images, Veronica. Are the Brazilian Potato tree fruits edible? And do they taste like potatoes, I wonder? The church is lovely with the outside fountain. Dim sum is delicious. I do like dumplings!

  17. I especially loved the photos of Bath in this one. I've only visited once and for too short a time but I was enchanted by the city and would like to return. I didn't see this beautiful church but I will remember it for next time, for I must return. It's lovely. And that white buttercup image is spot on -- so detailed and absolutely exquisite.

  19. I especially love the photo of the beautiful sky shot! The closeup of the yellow flower reminds me of a pansy. First I've ever seen a Brazilian potato tree. Very interesting. All of your photos from Bath are lovely.

  27. All interesting photos, Veronica! I miss the white buttercup plant, as i used to have one of those. If I remember, those white flowers would close towards evening and bloom again in the morning. And, oh I love the dimsum.. they look so appetizing! ~ Ms. Donyarific

  40. Dear Veronica, you show many interesting photos! Your SKYWATCH FROM MY BALCONY photos are always stunning. Your food photos make me hungry again. Unfortunately, I don't know the names of the individual dim sum dishes, but I especially like them fried. Are the fruits of the Brazilian Potato Tree actually edible?
    Thanks for answering the Kimchi question. Our homemade kimchi is now considered fully fermented. I'm getting used to the fact that it tastes so spicy. But most of all, I eat it because it's supposedly so healthy. I think I'll make the next kimchi less spicy and add carrots as well.
    Thank you very much for the kind words about the loss of our Nina!
    Very warm rust rose greetings - I wish you a wonderful October!

  42. The ivory colored flowers on that bush are wonderful in close-up and of the whole bush! Sky views as wonderful as always and the food .... so good; I have always wanted to try a dim sum brunch but have never had the chance. It seems like a perfect way to eat... good (real) food and not too much of it.
