im going to yum cha (its called that here in australia but dim sum in the US) tomorrow and im craving for it now!

what do u guys like to eat when u go? i like the squid thats fried in batter and i like the rice roll things, the ones with prawns and its laying in a pile of soy sauce!! yum yum! i like most things, except chicken feet!!! LOL

[xkrndreamer]

dim sum isnt filling in my honest opinion.

[kayla.]

I call it Yum Cha and I live in Cali haha. I dunno. My family doesn't really call it Dim Sum. I'm not even sure what it means. Yum Cha literally translates to "Drink Tea".

Anyway we always order the same thing. I don't know what they're called in english nor chinese though. Like the small stuff with meat wrapped around the yellow thing. And the white stuff with bbq pork [cha sew] in soy sauce. The rice with the egg stuff in the middle. I don't like to eat chicken feet either but everyone else in my family does ha.

^ Dim Sum = 點心 = um, sort of like, "satisfied". T_T. 心 = body/heart...
Lol. I know what I'm talking about in my head...
Wikipedia says;
"... literally "touch the heart" but meaning "morsel/snack" "
._.


Fung zau (chicken feet), ha cao (prawn dumplings with that BEAUTIFUL white outside), dim sim/xiu mai, the Malaysian sponge cake (馬拉糕), the congee with the "100 year old egg", 蘿蔔糕 (turnip/radish cakes),...

I love it all <3

And FTR, I call it "yum cha" too XD
Are you going to yumcha on Gouger St., or in Chinatown?

[ANYOTHERDAY]

OH SO DIM SUM IS YUMCHA? I never knew that.
I feel like some now. XD

[Antz]

we say dimsum here, too, though~ both yumcha and dimsum.. weird australia. xD

I LOVEEEEEEEEE DIMSUM )#(%&)#(%&% so bad though, BUT SO YUMMY!
that's one thing i love about being chinese. or just asian. ^^

[cbxjenn]

i call it both.. but yumcha only with family since friends don't understand canto haha.

[w1f3_0f_x14h_junsu]

i <3333333 all of it!!!!!!!!

and i thought yum cha was what it was called and dim sum was the food that's served?
*shrugs*

[matango88]

we have always called it:

"Cha Ngo" [mis-spelling?] - teahouse food

I like the sticky rice wrapped in lotus leaf with chicken

[crystaldreams]

oh! i haven't yum cha for a long time! lol yea i ate those sticky rice in lotus leaf with chicken before i usually go with my family we always eat the usual stuff like ha cao, fung zau, those buns, and the crispy things i don't know i think its like fried dumplings

[MOOVERDOSE]

I found Yum Chai in the dictionary once.

[ilikepho]

huh? yumcha is a place where we can eat dimsims/dimsums - i've always thought so and i live in australia as well .__.?
ha gaw (sp?) is nice as well

[THiS ONE LOSER]

Yum cha is here where I live too. Personally, I just loveeeeeeeee yum cha. :] We don't go anymore. I love Har gow.

[clride]

I love the prawn dumplings and spare ribs, I can never get enough of them

[PapayaSeed]

mmm...i usually go for dimsum every week..vancouver is filled with yumcha places
it's so addicting..haha

[StupidGurl]

yum cha's okay.
i used to really love it but now i got sick of it.

[Rainie_Days]

I haven't had Dimsum in so long. But usually when we go, we would order:

-Squid Fried In Batter
-Prawn Dumplings
-Siu Mai
-Lai Wong Buns [Can't remember the english name, LOL]
-Spared Ribs
-Cha Siu/Prawn/Beef in White Paste [Cheung Fun]

[mz simmonz]

I like that thing that looks like a flattened bird's nest. It's like shrimp paste coated with shredded taro pieces and then fried.

and is it just me or does dim sum taste extra good with Worstershire sauce? lol. I only go for dimsum like once a month or I'll get really sick of it.

[xxflyingcookiez]

im never really into yumcha
i use 2 hate it but now i just dislike it the onlyy thing i ever eat there is "jok" and pork rice :]
yea i dont really eat much in dimsum...

[whohungjen?]

i dont eat it much
but i eat whatever my parents or friends order
i like...
those shrimp dumplings (the white ones) aka "hagao"-canto or "xiajiao"-mandarin [pardon me, my pinyin sucks]
and the yellow-ish dumplings that have a bunch of stuff inside aka "sumai" or "saomai"
best
