>shrimp parsley dim sum
Xiao long bao
Greatest ever.
Fuck yes
>>8811449
I like it sum what.
Dam son
Never had it and there are probably three dozen varieties of filled dumplings made all over Europe. Convince me this is totally different and I need to try this.
>>8811552
well you sit down and they push a litlle cart around where you can order stuff, which is pretty cool. just check your nearest Yum Cha place
>>8811527
Hilarious truth: you can't get good dim sum in Taiwan. I've looked. :-(
>>8811468
inferior to shengjian bao
I'm a chink and I'm sick of it. It's all the same stuff but I guess you could say the same for any cuisine that you are familiar with.
>>8811449
Yes but only sum
>>8811579
That's a bun. Not a dumpling.
I don't doubt it's good, but they aren't exactly in the same category.
I'd imagine the dough would get sickening after a few.
>>8811449
I mean, depending on the place, alley cat can taste pretty decent.
>>8811449
that's actually a pretty bitchin selection
the xianshuijiao very top and left, luobogao below it left, and zhaliang dead center are all 'mazn
No but I'd like sum of dim haha
>>8811735
No, it's a dumpling
t. actual chinese
it is called shengjian BAO for a reason
>>8811915
Anon, the middle dish should be more accurately called 'cheongfan' (gut noodle, called such because of the shape). The difference between the two is that 'zhaliang' is stuffed with fried dough, whereas 'cheongfan' is either filled with meat/shrimps or served as-is.
>>8811959
don't ever reply to me again faggot
chicken feet is good to eat
>>8811939
Not that anon, but as a Chinese myself I find the distinction between the two highly blurred, as in the case of 'xiao long bao'. On the one hand, they are steamed like dumplings, but 'bao' usually refers to buns/breads, both steamed and baked. Thus, the argument that 'shangjianbao' should be referred to as 'buns' is equally valid IMO. Ultimately, you can translate them as either and people will know what you're talking about.
>>8811959
called it zhaliang because that's what it looks like
ji tong ya jiang
>>8811449
Like us some what?
Chee Cheong Fun

>>8811449
I have never had any. What's it like?
>>8811552
I mean, they're different flavours? What a weird statement.
>>8811449
I only eat bright sum.
Pleb.
>>8811468
>called xiao long bao
>isn't long
>>8811994
It's such a nibbly thing though. I like foods you can just bite into.
>go to dim sum
>nobody speaks english
>anxiety kicks in
>>8811552
>three dozen varieties of filled dumplings made all over Europe
>Convince me this is totally different
>from chinese cuisine
>>8811449

Unlike the other anon.
Have a good day.

Best I ever had was in Hong Kong. I ate at Time Ho Wan's (one of the cheapest Michelin star places in the world) and omfg. They are so amazing there.
I Like the cream of Sum Yung Guy
>>8815062
>>8812004
no, that's entirely wrong, it is used for dumplings, and that is how the character is used colloquially in the context of food: entirely for dumplings
>>8815472
OK Mr Wong. That's enough of that.
>>8811577
cracker sexpat english teacher or mormon missionary?
you dun goofed
Sum of it is good
Sum of it is bad
Love the fried shrimp balls
Anyone has good dim sum recipes?
>>8811525
underrated
I bought a massive bamboo steamer so I make this shit at home now. If you have access to any international market the freezer section is filled with these things in a hundred flavors and brands.
Forgive my whiteness, but I can't keep up with all the languages and names for these things.
I like the red bean buns, any dumplings but especially ones with black mushroom or the pork and shrimp ones, the custard buns, taro buns, bbq pork buns, shrimp shumai (though some brands of this you buy are really gross, beware), and red bean paste sesame balls. I usually buy a shitton of them in all kinds of flavors and steam two of each bun in the top layer, with a bunch of dumplings and sword beans in the bottom layer.

>Forgive my whiteness
Yep, you definitely don't sound like a fag at all.

I'm American Taiwanese and have a shitton of relatives all over Taiwan, China, and Hong Kong. When I was in Taiwan, my cousins were telling me how the Dim Sum culture/popularity is kinda dead now in terms of sit down and ordering from the menu/carts in a restaurant. There are still good places in Taiwan, but it's kind a dead cuisine for them cause they're bored of it in general and there's not much change/creativity with it. People are much more interested in the food carts and fusion type foods on the street where young chefs are finding new combinations of food from different cultures around Asia and the world to try to have the next big hit.
They agreed with my Hong Kong relatives and said that the best dim sum to be found is still in Hong Kong.
>>8811449
It's alright.
Nothing special, imo.
>>8817934
You succeeded.
Now kill yourself.
I lived in Hong Kong last year and everyone was always pushing these dim sum places on me cause that's like their main thing over there or something. It's gross though... like most of its just soggy, shitty meat...
I like sesame balls and that shrimp ones *googling* ok, Har Gow. I eat dim sum at sum Chinese restaurants from time to time. Yum.
Pork shumai, shrimp dumplings and sticky rice are where it's at. Oh and bean curd roll. I had this for my birthday dinner the other day. Good shit.

Only reading what you wrote makes me drool and crave for sum nice dim sums!
