well, now i want dim sum! *groan* the kind i had in Hong Kong that is. check out the video clip. (via seriouseats.com) (it's not easy for her to say 'Wooster suuuuse', some people must mention that. my god! i however find her constant hand moments more distracting.) my top favs are prawn parcels, pork mince filled rice sheets and beef balls... *drool*  |

In Sydney, it is more commonly called Yum Cha - but still yummy! When River was out here last we went to a very yummy Yum Cha place.
Used to go to one locally a lot, but now it is hard to find a time as I can't take LC anymore due to nut allergy risks (contamination with other foods in the kitchen)

i make do with frozen dim sum, but don't touch the prawn parcels made here as they are an abomination. someone at the swimming pool recommends a place in the next town (8km away) so i shall try that one of these days. he's from Hong Kong and is critical of Chinese food so i think i can trust him.
'yummy yum cha' sounds like a cool name for a dim sum place! must be nice to have endless possibilities of good Asian eateries in Oz/north America! i have to go the Paris for the best Vietnamese, and Duesseldorf for good Japanese and so on. the rest i have to get on the plane.
(Japan next year)

' yummy yum cha' sounds like a cool name for a dim sum place! No offense, but IMO, the food in a wide area around it would have to be truly terrible to try a place called Yummy Yam Cha. |

Janeyd, all of us so fortunate as not to be in Paris extend our deepest sympathy.

Oh I haven't had dim sum in a while.
My favourite is the har gau (prawn parcels), siu mai, lo mai kai, cheong fan, cha siu bau, the egg tarts and ma lai go.

Oh I was dying to try out Tim Ho Wan but my HK friends had no idea where it was! They took us to Fook Lam Moon in Wan Chai instead which was yummy as well (and a bit weird, lots of fancy cars and paparazzi). It was probably a bit more expensive than Tim Ho Wan but not too bad and delicious too. To think that all I have for breakfast this morning is cereal or bread. Boring. |

^^ i knew the 2 names but... what is what, how it's eaten, how it should look/taste etc was like reading chicken scratching pictogram to me  eating certain parcels with " Wooster Suse" is a surprise to me. i have been to a couple of dim sum places in HK however my heart belongs to Lin Heung. is Tim Ho Wan fancy? (probably) the best - and cheap- dim sum i had was actually in Guangzhou (and generally within Guangdong province) however. Lin Heung is originally from Guangzhou, anno 1889. |

Yum cha is "drink tea", dim sum refers to the small dishes one eats at yum cha (so the whole experience is more accurately described by yum cha).
At least that's how I understand it. We usually refer to it as yum cha in Australia.

damn you lot, I was craving dim sum all day yesterday because of this thread.
I had to half-satisfy the craving with a steaming bowl of Pho with some interesting beef balls inside

Pho is also darn yummy. I might even prefer pho to dim sum. Lucky you, janeyd!
