T.POT CHINA BISTRO T.Pot China Bistro in Harvest Hills dishes up Chinese entrees and dim sum, from standby favourites like ginger beef and Har Gow (steamed shrimp dumplings) to harder-to-find fare like abalone. This modern and spacious spot is incredibly popular and tends to fill up quickly with those seeking out dishes in both the formal restaurant side of the establishment and the cafĂŠ-style half, which have different menus. Dim sum is served all week but is especially popular on the weekend. Here, diners order by using bilingual checklist paper sheets instead of waiting for a desired dish to go by on a cart, which means food comes fresh and piping hot from the kitchen. 100 9640 Harvest Hills Blvd. N.E., 403-532-3982, tasteofasiagroup.ca L
