UYE Dim Sum Run Club

i’m giving this 5 stars because it’s a genius idea! i didn’t even attend and i know how much fun you all had.
great event by Olivia D!

Uhmm. .. can I review my own club?! FIVE STARS for my Dim Sum Run Club!! – Woo-​Hoooooo!!! Ok, just kidding!
Seriously, now. .. I had such a great time on Saturday and I want to say thank you to all the fantastic Unilocalers and facebookers who actually showed up at 8:15am on a Saturday morning to run. It was great to have some Bay Area Unilocalers and people new to town show up too. (Shout outs to Cream Puff aka Victoria, Lori, Nick, Esther, and Charles!) Big props to those who showed up either hungover or still drunk from the night before! I have learned my lesson and in the future will not plan a meeting the morning after First (or last) Friday! Nevertheless, we had a great turnout and you know there’s nothing like running and dim sum in the company of great people to get you back in the game. =)
Of course, we weren’t done even after a full meal at Legend Seafood Restaurant. The shenanigans continued! I decided to introduce my new friends to Taiwanese shaved ice at City Café. (Yes, I am a bottomless pit.) Seven us even rallied for dinner at Jinroku that night – more shenanigans! I can honestly say that this was the longest run club event I’ve ever been on! =P
Saturday was such a success we’ve decided to make this a regular event. Times and dates will vary, and I’m planning on doing this at least monthly and posting the event on both facebook and Unilocal.I’ll also announce it in a talk thread.
I’ve posted the photos here and on facebook – take a look! As you can see, the new group had a hilarious time dim summing it and hamming it up at Legend. You guys are great and I’m looking forward to getting to know more awesome runners and dim summers in the coming months.

Cheers to Olivia for putting this event together and thank you so much for waiting up for some of us that showed up a tad late! Attending such an event whilst still sloshed from shenanigans from the night prior to the average Joe would be ill advised. Leave this to the pros! ^^
I ran sum (and heaved sum) and enjoyed dim sum with a great group of people. Wish I could be there for the next event.
Hmm perhaps something to start up back in the Bay?

Thanks Olivia and everyone who came out especially after 1^st Friday hangovers!
Great way to start the day– oceanside run at Ala Moana, dim sum at Legends, and Taiwanese shave ice at City Café? How can you not love this place? ?
Really fun meeting all of you and hope to see you all again soon!

I love this concept! «We run sum, then we dim sum»
I’m not much of a runner, and I woke up too late for the run part, but I joined up with the Unilocalers at Legend’s and had a few bites with them. I’m new (3 weeks) to Hawaii, so it was awesome making a few new friends and meeting Emi in 3D (as Ligaya always put it)!
Some of us hit up City Café for some amazing never-​too-​full-​for-​shave-​ice. Eating from one place to another… true Unilocaler style!
Hopefully this is just the beginning of more fun shenanigans with the Honolulu Unilocalers during my short time here! (leaving at the end of Dec!!! sadddd)

Perfect start to my Saturday!!!
Running for fitness at Magic Island (Ala Moana Beach Park), then some chowing down with Dim Sum at Legend’s Seafood Restaurant, and after, the best part, light local sweets, Taiwanese shave ice at City Café!
Running is a free and an easy way to get some cardio exercise. Magic Island is an easy and very, very nice spot to jog or for any type of fitness. Dim sum at Legend’s is always a YAY for me. I love dim sum and Legend’s is a great place in Chinatown place for it.
It was my first time trying Taiwanese shave ice and I think I’m convert from hawaiian shave ice. Loved all the toppings that I picked on my shave ice at City Café. Mochi was made just right, soft and chewy. Azuki beans were not overly soft and squishy. Taro chunks were not too sweet or dry. Custard was light and just sweet enough. The brown sugar syrup on the shave ice was just enough flavor without overpowering the toppings or completely ruining it. I loved it!
Thank you Olivia for organizing the event and the best part, was coming up with the clever name!!! RUN SUM, DIM SUM… Opps, did I spell it wrong?
I had a great time. When’s the next one?

Thanks to Olivia D for organizing this event and for getting me off my butt and out the door on a Saturday morning! Hey what happened to all the waddlers and slow walkers? Although I was the only one who didn’t finish the run (because I never got to start the run, due to my 2 kids who weren’t into the «run» part… they just wanted to throw rocks into the ocean and at the tourists taking the stand up paddling class, but I digress), I was glad to get a little bit of fresh air and some exercise in.
Calling out other stroller mommies for the next event! I’ll bring up the tail end of the «run/​walk» next time with you. Or maybe the kids will just throw rocks into the ocean the whole time again.

Big woot woot to Olivia D for putting together a truly fantastic UYE! Sure I missed the «run» part of the UYE, but as we all know, I’m here for the food. Having dim sum with a whole bunch of Unilocalers at Legends was the best! I got to try some really yummy dishes and even took a few small leaps of faith. My fave was the shrimp and chive dumpling and the jin dui. Not sure if I spelled it right but it was delicious and it now resides in my baby belly, which is all that really matters anyway!
Lots of fresh new faces at this UYE and it was very cool to see some out of town Elites joining us as well. Everyone was so nice and it’s always wonderful to share a yummy meal together. This will surely need to become a monthly UYE and like clockwork I’ll always be there for the dim sum! Maybe once I have this baby I’ll get off my fat okole for the «run» part, but until then, bring on the dim sum carts & don’t be stingy with the jin dui!
