Great Chinese in Philly

Hey Hounds,
You need to check out the Lakeside Chinese Deli. I know the is an interesting name, but it's the best Dim Sum you'll ever eat! Order recomendations:
Chu Chow is all you need to say. They are Shrimp rolls stuffed in bean curd with a hint of water chestnut and sesame that melt in your mouth!!! The sticky rice in lotus leaf is the chinese tamale. Steamed sticky rice pork and chicken, chinese sausage, peanut and egg are lovingly wraped in a lotus leaf and steamed! On a good the salt baked chicken is a carnal and simple affair of salt and sesame oil. The owner Brenda Is an angle and the price is always right!
