Dim Sum at Sky Dragon

Our buddy, Mr. Sunny helps Frankie, Chance and me choose what we eat when we have Dim Sum at Sky Dragon. It's yummy!

Hi. I'm Charles the Bear Cub. You know me. I live on Sparkle Road with my buddy, Grandpa James. He's really old. He was the second Canadian to get off Noah's Ark, you know.  Oh. Wait! Chance lives with us, too. He's a newborn cubby someone left in a basket on our doorstep. He's a wee little thing. I look after Chance, too. He's a handful! Oh. Wait! Our cousin Frankie lives with us, too! We're the three bears, you know.

Know what? We're in Chinatown in Toronto. It's a very busy place. We like to come here to shop and to eat.

If you're as hungry as a bear, then come to Sky Dragon!

We like to eat Dim Sum at Sky Dragon. The nice ladies bring our food on a cart. We choose what we want to eat. All the food is yummy. Dim Sum means 'choose to your heart's content' in Cantonese. I want to choose everything!

This is our buddy, Mr.  Sunny. He works at Sky Dragon. He's very lucky, you know. He can eat Dim Sum every day!

I want to eat spring rolls and crispy fried chicken. I want some squid and sticky rice. I know why it's called sticky rice--that's 'cuz it sticks to you. Chance get sticky rice all over him when he tries to eat. He's too newborn to use chopsticks. I can use them and I don't even have thumbs! Frankie is a very tidy eater but he's four and he has good table manners.

Sky Dragon is on the corner of Dundas and Spadina, you know.

 Did you hear that? Grandpa James is hollering, "Where are my handsome bear cubs? Where are my Sons of Windsor? Where are my Princes of Ontario? Where is my Knight of Knewfoundland and Lord of Labrador? That's me! Charles! That's Chance! That's Frankie! We're handsome bear cubs. We're Sons of Windsor and Princes of Ontario! Frankie is the Knight of Knewfoundland and the Lord of Labrador! We gotta go find Grandpa James so we can get our ears tickled and our noses kissed.

This is me, Charles the Bear Cub saying, "Be good citizens. Be kind to friends and neighbours. Then you can eat Smarties and drink root beer. Oh! Wait! Come over to our house and play with us! We can go to Sky Dragon and eat Dim Sum together! Okay! Over and out!"

Eating Dim Sum at Sky Dragon

Our buddies at Sky Dragon are William, Steven, Kathy, Andy and Sunny.

Hi. I'm Charles the Bear Cub. You know me. I live with my buddy, Grandpa James. He's really old. He was the second Canadian to get off Noah's Ark, you know. We live on Sparkle Road. That's right next to Sandwich Street. That's in Windsor. I know where Windsor is--it's in O Canada.

 Oh. Wait! Chance lives with us, too. He's a newborn cubby someone left in a basket on our doorstep. He's a wee little thing. I look after Chance, too. He's a handful!

Sometimes we go to Toronto. We ride on VIA Rail. I love the train but we don't eat trains, you know.  That would be silly, wouldn't it? They're not in Canada's Food Guide.

Our train goes from Windsor to Toronto. When we get to London, we're halfway already!

We have lots of things to do in TO. One of our favouritest things is to eat at Sky Dragon. They have very yummy food. It's Chinese food. The nice servers bring us Dim Sum. I know what Dim Sum means. It means 'choose to your heart's content.' I like to choose my food. It's fun. I always eat Har Gow and Beef Balls and Cheung Fun, too. Chance doesn't have any teeth, he's so newborn. He licks my Char Sui Bao and makes squeaky noises 'cuz he's happy. Dim Sum always makes us happy!

Oh. Wait! Did you hear that? Grandpa James is hollering, "Where are my handsome bear cubs? Where are my Sons of Windsor? Where are my Princes of Ontario? That's me! Charles! That's Chance! We're handsome bear cubs. We're Sons of Windsor and Princes of Ontario! We gotta go find Grandpa James so we can get our ears tickled and our noses kissed.

 This is me, Charles the Bear Cub saying, "Be good citizens. Be kind to friends and neighbours. Then you can eat Dim Sum at Sky Dragon. Oh! Wait! Come over to our house and play with us! We can eat at Sky Dragon together! Okay! Over and out!"

Lunch at Sky Dragon and the Scarlet Ibis

Hi. I'm Charles the Bear Cub. You know me. I live on Sparkle Road with my buddy, James. He's really old. He was the second Canadian to get off Noah's Ark, you know.

 Oh. Wait! Chance lives with us, too. He's a newborn cubby someone left in a basket on our doorstep. He's a wee little thing. He climbs way high and then he can't get down. Chance makes little squawky noises when he's afraid. I have to help him get down. I look after Chance, too. He's a handful!

When we go to Toronto, we get to eat at the Scarlet Ibis. It's one of our favouritest places to eat. The Pink Ibis has West Indian food. When we go there I'm as hungry as a bear. Know what? I l-o-v-e to eat roti. It's yum-O-liscious, you know. I like to drink mango juice, too. Chance likes sorel juice. He's so newborn he isn't very good at drinking juice with a straw. He really needs his bottle.

 Another yummy place to eat is the Sky Dragon. Sky Dragon in Chinatown. Here we are with Nana Lizbeth. Nana Lizbeth is very smart. She knows how to eat with chopsticks. She taught me how to eat with chopsticks instead of a fork. Know what? Chance is too little to eat food 'cuz he doesn't have any teeth, yet. He just drinks green tea.

Chinese food tastes better when you eat it with chopsticks. We get to eat Dim Sum. I like the dumplings and pot stickers best of all.

Dim Sum is yummy. It works like this. The ladies come around with food on little carts and announce the food. We get to choose what we want to eat. Some of the nice ladies tweak our ears and kiss our noses, too.

Oh! We get to drink green tea, too. Green tea is good for you. It's important to drink green tea when you go to Sky Dragon for Dim Sum. Green tea is in Canada's Food Guide.

James says, "Now boys, Mind your manners. Don't eat like pigs." We're not pigs! We're bear cubs. He says, "Don't wolf your food." James is very silly. Anyone can see we're bear cubs, not wolves.



Oh. Wait! Did you hear that? James is hollering, "Where are my handsome bear cubs? Where are my Sons of Windsor? Where are my Princes of Ontario? That's me! Charles! That's Chance! We're handsome bear cubs. We're Sons of Windsor and Princes of Ontario! We gotta go find James so we can get our ears tickled and our noses kissed.

 This is me, Charles the Bear Cub saying, "Be good citizens. Be kind to neighbours and friends. Then you can eat Smarties and drink root beer. Oh! Wait! Come over to our house and play with us! We can go to the Pink Ibis and Sky Dragon together! Okay! Over and out!"

Dim Sum is Yum, Yum, Yummy!

Hi. I'm Charles the Bear Cub. You know me. I live on Sparkle Road with my buddy, James. He's really old. He was the second Canadian to get off Noah's Ark, you know.

 Wait! Chance lives with us, too. He's a newborn cubby someone left in a basket on our doorstep. He's a wee little thing. He doesn't have any teeth. He just drinks chocolate owls' milk from his bottle. I look after Chance, too. He's a handful!

Know what? Chance and me are in Chinatown today. That's in Toronto the Good. We go to Toronto on VIA Rail. When we are in Toronto the Good we get to eat Dim Sum. Dim Sum is really fun. James says that Dim Sum means 'little bites of heaven.'  The ladies bring food on carts. We choose what we want to eat. I l-o-v-e the chiu-chao dumplings and the pot stickers and the sticky buns and the tofu and everything! Good thing I'm as hungry as a bear!

Chance tried to climb into the hot and sour soup. I had to pull him off the table. The soup is hot and he might get hurt!

By the time we're all done eating, I'm really stuffed! Then we go to shop in Chinatown. It's fun to go to the stores and see what they have. In Chinatown, they have everything!

Oh. Wait! Did you hear that? James is hollering, "Where are my handsome bear cubs? Where are my Sons of Windsor? Where are my Princes of Ontario? That's me! Charles! That's Chance! We're handsome bear cubs. We're Sons of Windsor and Princes of Ontario! We gotta go find James so we can get our ears tickled and our noses kissed.
