the morning teahouse

Morning dim sum, tea always hot.

A wood-panelled room, the water-town mural, red lanterns — and everything good arrives in a bamboo steamer.

The water-town muralA gilt panorama of an old Chinese water town covers the wood wall — the room's unmistakable centerpiece.
The wood roomDark wood wainscoting, wood tables and chairs — warm like an old teahouse.
