Eventful afternoon with Gerald Garratty …within the space of about four hours I’d tried 7 dim sum dishes, stumbled on a crack den, met a graffiti artist, bought a sofa, traveled in a lift (that surprisingly was fully functional – including talking to us) in a derelict block of flats and wandered round one of Sheffield’s roughest areas without getting my camera nicked.<\/p>\n
Dim Sum was at Wong Ting on Matilda Street in Sheffield. We met there at 12:30.<\/p>\n
I’d only had bits of this type of food in the past and was keen to try a selection. Gerald ordered a selection marking them off on a paper sheet.<\/p>\n
We had Prawn Dumplings
\nChar Sui Buns
\nFish Ball & Mooli
\nRoasted Pork in Steamed Rice Balls
\nPan Fried Radish Pastry with Chinese Sausages
\nPan Fried Meat and Vegetable Buns
\nDeep Fried Mixed Meat Dough Balls<\/p>\n
Then we decided to do a walk around the industrial area and down to the graffiti spot near the closed club Niche. We cut through the fence and found a guy huddled in a small derelict room. We moved past and a few minutes later he came out spooked by our presence. He was about to take cocaine and we’d disturbed him. We got talking and it turned out he was a graffiti artist and he showed us designs on his phone. They were cool. He plans to put them on shutters if commissioned so they stay in place rather than get pained over.<\/p>\n
