After the TooGood Whole Fuds unhappiness, I gave the app another try. We reserved a dim sum package for dinner last night from a local hole-in-the-wall. Getting there was not terribly convenient; the pickup time was 6:45 (they close at 7, so understandably the restaurant is getting rid of end-of-day food) and it's in the Mission so the area is always crowded. It's only a mile walking, but a couple miles driving and of course quite busy at that time of day. But the trip was not difficult and after a bit of a wait, I was handed a couple plastic bags of leftover dim sum.
We got two of each:
  • vegetarian egg roll
  • veg rice noodle roll
  • siu mai
  • large fried meat dumpling
  • egg custard tart

Of course they weren't as good as hot out of the fryer/steamer, but they were fine and I didn't expect anything different for $6. The meat dumpling was the best; the egg roll and noodle roll really needed some soy sauce/ mustard/ chili crisp to punch them up. The egg tart was fine but I would of course been much happier with a sesame ball.

Not what I want to do very often, for transit and fried-food reasons, but not a disappointment this time.
