Dim Sum at Harrods: Xin

Xin
Harrods Food Hall
87-135 Brompton Road
SW1X 7XL

Date of Last Visit: Monday, May 6

The Victim: Me

The Damage: £20?

The Background: I've left Aunt Ursula and Uncle George in Paris and have returned to London for some retail therapy at the tail-end of the bank holiday weekend. I stop into Harrods to look at everything. My wallet remains intact.

I am hungry though, very much so. So I drop into the food court to have some dumplings at Xin. The best part about the meal was the tea, which blossomed as I drank it. The dumplings, however, were gloopy and forgettable.

The Verdict: I'll be going back to Harrods, for sure. But I'll steer clear of Xin.
