I really enjoy the way Mike always just hands people food to try, I don't know if it's just the standard Chinese table manners, but it makes me so happy.
Whats Now Mike's made a "x number of classic dim sum dishes you have to try" in like 5 separate but same food channels he's part of. Pretty sure these videos are just an excuse to eat XD
My famly always orders: Har Gao (Shrimp Dumpling), Cheung Fan (Rice Noodle with Soy Sauce), Chinese Sticky Rice, Gai Lan, Chicken Feet, Egg Tarts, Water Chestnut Cake, Shu mai, Sesame Seed Balls, and oh so much more! Pretty much everything you guys covered in this video lol. I heart Dim Sum!!!
I love Cheryl's laid back, semi-sassy girl personality--she seems so cool. Her voice is great. Aaaand she's really easy on the eyes. Hope they have her accompany them a lot more.
My best friend is Chinese. She took me to Dim Sum in China and i had all of this and loved them all. However, i had no idea what most of it was. Thank you for doing this video!!'😂
Omgosh! What would u suggest I get if it’s just me & my lil daughter? I’m the type of person who LOVES to try new things, no matter what it looks like & im teaching my daughter the same. A lot of my favorite things look weird but they r the best!!! Thnx for this vid!!!
Good video. There's a dim sum item I've had in Chinatown here in LA. It's a slice of pork with crispy skin, a layer of fat and then tender meat. I think it's cooked with some five spice or something. I don't know the name but it's great. I also got shrimp that were alive a few minutes ago and quickly boiled and seasoned with lots of black pepper. Also the Asian broccoli with hoisin is fabulous. There are also wonderful Chinatown locations in Las Vegas and Calgary, Alta. Love dim sum!!
Point it at yourself if it’s a full table. It’s etiquette used even by gangsters to provoke others by deliberately pointing at rivals with the spout...
I really loved bun, I always get frozen bun when I can't find any bun on the day, I knew it wasn't as good, but I don't have much choice, chicken feet is tasty, I get the appeal, I also did.t like char siu bao and love salty egg bun,
I have never had sweet rice porridge...but then I'm Viet...southern Viet. It's always savory and with the fried donut sticks...thingy. But thanks for the video. I'm always overwhelmed doing Dim Sum.
i LOOOOOOVE the tsin jo kyun (not sure if that is the right way to spell) but the "tofu skin wrap"...Mike's fave, is also my ALL TIME dim sum favorite aside from the deep fried taro balls....numnums
"You must be willing to try" THIS! This applies to any Asian cuisine. Most dishes you will have never seen before, but are really good. Don't care about appearance, name, etc. and you will be surprised
Hey Mike, I love your videos! I have been hooked ever since I saw your hot pot videos (and have been to Hou Yi a number of times now). If Seafood Jewel is your favorite how about a video from there? Just a suggestion.
great video, tripe is my all time fav dimsum item, if i go Yumcha and there aint no tripe im mega pissed off, if there is tendons i will be half satisfied.. i always end dimsum with Mango crepes.
This has made me so much more confident to try to order in our local place! They can be a bit aloof with us being white and unsure and that put me right off even trying! We're in rural Scotland and the Chinese community is pretty small in comparison. Thanks x
Dim Sum is my favor type of cuisine EVER! I can eat it everyday and the only problem I would have is how to lose all these extra weight I am gaining! Super Yummy!!!
so i used to eat a lot of dim sum when i was younger and i fell in love with it... my uncles gf is full chinese from hong kong and im only a quarter and she told me the emperor story and i always do the finger thing i thought i was the only one!
I like seeing Cheryl on your show I feel like she compliments the show very well, btw I checked out her channel and subscribed, I hope she gets many more subs soon. but I also hope to keep seeing Cheryl on on your show
No sticky rice wrapped in lotus leaf? I also prefer steamed char siu bao to the baked one, though they can be a bit of a gut bomb (which is why I only eat 1 and take any leftover ones to go because they reheat in the microwave well). One of my favorite places in Seattle (Jade Garden) also has the special open top shrimp dumpling w/ crab meat, so I get those, regular har gao and cilantro shrimp dumplings.
I’m part Chinese and I get dim sum with my family all the time, but I’m limited, because I have a seafood allergy. My favorite thing to order is nom bao, the steamed bbq pork buns, or the sesame balls.
One thing to tell newbies to dim sum is that a lot of the individual ingredients is something they've probably had before. It's just in the preparation of dim sum that's different.
Do you take leftovers home? is all Dim Sum in servings of 3? i mean like the dumplings and buns and stuff. Besides hot sauce and mustard, do you put anything on it? Thank you.
ahahaa ... here we are, two fat white girls at dimsum (in Toronto) .. I ask what's in that one .. the lady flaps her arm up and down .. I am thinking chicken wings .. she serves it up .. chicken feet! lol it was sooooo good, I ate it like the ladies at the table next to us, spit the bones into a bowl quietly. mmmmm .. love the rice in a little packet, a leaf - that sells out quick (in Markham).
Shark Fin Inn, Dragon Boat or Gold Leaf in Melbourne :D come, come come!! I grew up picky with my dim sums, so although they can be a bit pricey, quality not quantity!
Honestly, as a chinese, all these rules or superstitions we still obey and some are just not necessarily mandatory. Just like the tea pouring, if the younger ones must pour for the elders, imagine the youngest one is a child or toddler? Just being realistic here. But still love that you guys are true to your chinese roots! :D
My family gets all of these dishes every time we go eat dim sum. xD Except for the pastries and buns, since we usually get them from the local chinese bakery for breakfast. My favorites are the tripe, fung jow, and cheung fun.
