"shark's fin seafood consomme..."
Way to promote an utterly vile dish, dumbasses...right up there with "best nabe spots for fresh panda eyes".
Shark fin soup is made by cutting the fins off live sharks and dropping the helpless fish back into the ocean to die. Even if LTH's consomme was only called 'shark fin', and didn't actually contain any shark, the fact that they feature it on their menu only perpetuates mainstream acceptance of this horrendous dish.
Look, I love dim sum, and I'm sure LTH does a damn fine job of it. Too, I'd love to count myself among those that pass on only the best word-of-mouth about their food. But until I hear that LTH has stricken all shark fin from their menu, I'm telling everyone and anyone to steer clear of the place.
