Little Pieces of Heart from Shen Yang

One of my youngest son Oliver's (not quite 3) favorite books is called, Yum Yum Dim Sum. I get frequent requests from him to read it. There is a line in there stating that Dim Sum are "little pieces of heart." I had a chance recently to visit Shen Yang on the Northwest side of Indianapolis. They specialize in Hong Kong-style Dim Sum, served every day.

On my visit I selected three little pieces of heart - Chive Dumplings, Spare Ribs, and Beef Chun Fun. Although I enjoyed all three, the sticky Chive Dumplings were my favorite - filled with steamed vegetables, tied with tiny chive blades and served with a hot dipping sauce. What a wonderful lunch. You can see photos of my three dishes here. The Dim Sum menu is available here and the full menu here.   

Shen Yang is open daily from 11 am to 9 pm. They are located at 3902 Georgetown Rd in Indianapolis. They can be reached by phone at 317-280-1978.
