I ate at a Chinese restaurant last night, which is opened by Thai ppl I believe. Not bad but far from what I want. | ||

Gotta love the cheung fun, spring rolls, shark fin soup, pork buns and yam dumplings! Although I've never liked that tofu dessert :/ | ||

Then again, I've never liked dim sum so it's probably just my brain trying to convince me that I'm right. | ||

The only thing that i hate about them is that they always give you in odd numbers so you have to order more if you are dining with some one lol. | ||

I love those buns - I know what we get in England is often a watered down version of real Chinese cooking styles, but damn they're yummy. | ||

I miss Hong Kong dim sum so goddamn much. Even the mighty Korean Sam-gyeop-sal cannot compete with it. Great pics!  You got all the good stuff covered.^^ | ||

But I think you mean (in Cantonese), 'yam cha' which just means going out to a Chinese restaurant for a meal. Normally this is to eat dim sum at lunch time but not exclusively. 'Yam cha' literally means drinking tea. Someone more culturally Chinese than me can prob provide the characters. | ||

Come to think of it I haven't had Dim Sum for at least a couple of months. I always order the fried squid and the deep fried prawn wantons that come with mayo. I think they're called Har Kok. Damn I really want some right now... | ||

From my understanding, 'dim sum' is the stuff you eat - sui mai, cha siu bao, ha gao, etc. 'yum cha', would be a verb (to go drink tea) that usually means 'to go out and eat dim sum (and drink tea and chat with people)' so dim sum is something you eat, yum cha is something you do | ||
