As it says, tonight we are going to apparently the best Dim Sum place in town :) YUM!

The database is full of Dim Sum things but the cal counts vary so much, anyone have any idea what typical calories might be, say per piece, and which the best ones to go for would be?

    There's a ton of Dim Sum foods in the database. You can probably choose something close to what you're eating.

    The only thing I can think of that is low calorie are the steamed shrimp dumplings. I think they're about 50 calories per piece.

    But really, it's dim sum so who the hell cares! EAT ALL THE DIM SUM! Especially the fattening ever-so delicious coconut buns. And egg tarts. And sesame balls. And BBQ pork buns. And deep fried shrimp. And oh my god I am hungry and craving dim sum all of the sudden.

    Throw in 1,000 quick add calories and EAT ALL THE DIM SUM!!! I don't even know what 1/2 that stuff is let alone how to track it. Depending on what I have I either find the closest thing in the database or just quick add. Anything steamed is going to be lower cal than fried.
