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.
They serve shark fin soup and sharks are one of the most threatened species. They are VITAL TO LIFE NOT ONLY IN THE SEA BUT ALSO ON LAND. 70% of our oxygen comes from the oceans and sharks are the top predator monitoring the whole marine eco system keeping it healthy and in balance. If you care about the oceans and humans than don't eat anywhere where they serve shark or especially shark fin. Sharks are caught and then their fins are caught of and they are thrown back into the ocean alive waiting to die.
But they taste so delicious, so its a toss-up. Chickens, cows, pigs, theyre all my enemies, so I have no problem eating them and farting all night. In fact, I run em over meself and just back right into my bbq. Same with every other fish in the sea. Theyre all evil. Except for sharks... delicous delicious sharks..
And the shark fin is top notch!
