When I was a kid, I go yamcha every sunday morning. And my parent forced me to drink chinese tea (oolong), which I hate. But now, everytime I go to chinese restaurant or dimsum place, i always order chinese tea. It suits well with the dishes. And now, i really really miss eating dimsum with my family, because i live in different island
Thank you! I was researching dim sum and your video popped up. I really wanted to know the Chinese pronunciation of the dishes and most other vlogers either just say the English, or say the Chinese SO fast that I couldn't catch it. Breaking down the syllables was a big help, so thank you again! 👍👍👍
Two things that happen to me every time my family eat Dim Sum: 1. Have to take home food because we cannot finish it all and 2. The bill is in the three digits.
Other favorites, I love the greasy bean curd roll with pork, bamboo, and mushroom inside. Those spring rolls they serve are awesomely crispy, meaty, and greasy with the worcestershire sauce they sprinkle on top. And finally, I always get the congee or rice porridge with the 1000 year old egg. I love dim sum!!!
This is the only channel I can express my Chinese side of me. I love this channel. Keep up the good work. This is the only channel I've seen who talks not only about mandarin but of Cantonese. Thank you for what you do.
Felicia is right on this one. Siu Mai is one of the "standard measure" of how good a dim sum restaurant. For the Cantonese, if the Siu Mai of a restaurant is not good, it is a NOT qualify as a good dim sum restaurant. Actually, the 3 basic measurement of a good dim sum restaurant are Ha-gaau, Siu Mai, & BBQ pork bun. If these 3 dishes are not good, the restaurant failed.
This video format is kinda funny in a way as far as talking about dim sum and yum cha. It's like historic documentation style to bring people back to feel its original and traditional style. Well done. It looks like CBS's 60 mins OT.
"Woo Kok" taro dumpling. With lite and crispy taro fluff, savory mashed taro, and little bits of ground pork inside. It is one of my favorites! If done properly its absolute heaven!
I miss this food and the whole experience so much, when I was younger my auntie used to take us out all the time to Yum Cha restaurants where she'd order a whole pile of different stuff in Cantonese and I loved every bit of it. I wouldn't even know where to begin trying to order the same foods again in English, or without being able to follow her about the etiquette with the tea lol
1= Cha Yee (Fish Fried Badder) 2= Nogw Ba Yeb (Cow Flank With Sauce) 3= Nie Wing Bow (Yoke Bun) (Either Steamed, Baked, or Flacky or whatever else it comes in.) And YES please do more videos on your top ten Dim Sum, can't wait for your top ten Dessert List for the Dim Sum dining. Because I love Dessert especially ordering it at Dim Sum, almost as much maybe more than the items that I have listed.
i know it will never be on this list but one of the things my family loves to order when i go to yum cha is gnao pai yiip (i found out it's called steamed beef tripe), meat wrapped with tofu skin, custard bun, black sesame roll, durian desserts. :) i whole heartedly recommend to try these out as well if you want to try out dim sum :D
I notice you guys do a lot of different Asian countries foods. That is except for Laos. We have a large Laos community here about an hour outside of Chicago. can you do a show where you show case some popular Laos dishes? Thanks have loved the channel for a few years now and love them all. I do notice we haven't seen much of Yi since her and Dan came back except for a few episodes. Hope to see more of her. She always had me laughing and smiling specially during skits.
for chicken feet i dont like the steamed one but more into white one(thai style,served in cold dish )/ginger+salt+otther spicies(served in hot way,mostly). i prefer veg hakaw(wih shrimp) more then normal one..:P
Plan A: Start a family with Felicia and eat dim sum every weekend.. And not forgetting to order more than one steamer of Ha Gow.. Also LOVE the chicken clay pot rice..!! And the steamed chicken buns..!
Felicia is on the money... Good siu mai is hard to find, but when it's good it's pretty awesome. The list overall though is so salt heavy. Gai lan should be on the list.
one of the best chinese dish-type i've ever had in my life, and of course i keep wanting it over and over again (even now seeing this video makes me crave dim sum in the middle of the night). and BIG YES for turnip cake and har gao ! my to-go dim sum dishes every time. ah, add one more that's not in this list : salted-egg bun ❤❤❤ #drooling
Those are basic 10 Dim Sum Dishes can found in any tea houses restaurants. When I was young, my favorite 10 Dim Sum Dishes may not able to find but mostly in Hong Kong are: 1.) Shiu Mai top with 3 quail eggs-hard boiled, 2.) Stuffed (Shrimp Paste or Fish Paste) Egg Plants & Green Bell Peppers, 3.) Xiao Long Bao and /or Kun Tong Kau-two different types of Soup Dumplings, 4.) Chicken Rolls: Wrapped with Tofu Skin, stuffed with a piece of chicken, shitake mushroom, ham and/or char siu(barbeque pork), & Pork Rinds or Fish Maws, 5.) Small Pot Rice: My favorite usually top with Chicken Feet & Pork Spare Ribs glazed with sweet soy sauce on top, 6.) Fermented Red Bean Curd Pig's Frontal Feet, 7.) Pork Blood Cakes With Green Chives, 8.) Five Spices Beef Haslets consisted of Stomach, Spleen, Lung, & Intestine, 9.) Silver Needle Noodles with Shrimps, & 10.) Fermented Pork Bellies Bun with Taro.
Steamed Char Siu Bao is the King of Dim Sum, imo. It was the OG, when elders paired their tea with them, whilst bringing their pet birds to the restaurant. It even have a 60s gogo song named after it.
It's my favorite! From the Midwest married my husband. He was born in Hong Kong and introduced it to me. It is the best! Now we live in San Francisco. We eat out a lot. Chicken feet and sui mui are my favorite!
Mia, Yi, Felisha and Dan, love u guys so much!! Me and my son have been on an Asian kick the last three or so years. We watch u all the time. Good to see u guys all together. I see ya'll went to Jing Fong. We are always there for dim sum and always in china town, but we always pick the same stuff all the time. Pretty much what u mentioned here, minus the pig feet lol. pls give a list of more and the name other dim sum place in the video!! Would love to visit it. Always excited to see more!!
Mmmm! My BFF is Chinese and she opened my eyes to the world of Dim Sum and I've never looked back. I looooove it! I love the shrimp rice noodles (cheong fun I think it's called) and the lo mai gai lotus leaf rice. My absolute favourite is the jian dui sesame ball with egg yolk. I'm going for dim sum on Monday and my tummy is grumbling already!! I can't get passed the chicken feet though. I tried them and I just... no. I can't. Lol Thanks for the great video! I'm definitely going to try turnip cakes on Monday ☺
Dim Sum doesn't mean "touch your heart", It means "pick what you want want" or more specifically "pick what your heart desires" 點心 - Dim Sum 點歌 - Pick Song (when you call into a radio station and request a song to be played)
I got over my balking at chicken feet as at my age any collagen is a good thing. I now love them, especially with black bean. My other favorites is turnip cake and the rice noodles. Always so fun with ho fun.
You sounded a bit stereotype. Great Britain has long history of drinking tea although they like putting milk with it. I do agree that drinking tea and its brewing technique are staple from China. Unfortunately, modern China has lost them and Japanese have preserved them so well and respected its brewing practice. Even tea farms are top graded. Taiwanese also treat drinking tea superior.
moon cake I think he meant that westerners are mistaking the "yum" from yum cha, it doesn't mean delicious but yum means drink. so together yum cha translates to drink tea. He never said anything sterotypical.
+Moon Cake i disagree china lost it....china still has immense number of kind of tea...and japanese has so little number of kind of tea compared to china...
so good to see Yi again! Felicia's translation of law bok go(turnip cake) isn't quite accurate.....the "go" means cake. #10 the beef meatball I never order it reminds me of canned dog food in ball form
When I was a kid, I go yamcha every sunday morning. And my parent forced me to drink chinese tea (oolong), which I hate. But now, everytime I go to chinese restaurant or dimsum place, i always order chinese tea. It suits well with the dishes.
And now, i really really miss eating dimsum with my family, because i live in different island
ikr i used to hate tea, but now i can't live without it
proud canadian white guy ! I love dim sum and you guys are so much fun thankyou.
The girl talking about har gao is so funny when she talks about the skin ripping and you're left with a homeless prawn 😂 so true though
Thank you! I was researching dim sum and your video popped up. I really wanted to know the Chinese pronunciation of the dishes and most other vlogers either just say the English, or say the Chinese SO fast that I couldn't catch it. Breaking down the syllables was a big help, so thank you again! 👍👍👍
Other than Felicia, their pronunciation are just ok. Usually with a slight English accent. Typical ABCs.
Two things that happen to me every time my family eat Dim Sum: 1. Have to take home food because we cannot finish it all and 2. The bill is in the three digits.
Whaaaatttt? Back in 1980’s, maybe. Or you have 8+ people eating.... Nowadays, they’ve become larger portions but lower prices.
Where I live you could be paying £60 per person
@Sean L but it's not the same price everywhere
@@Owain99 that’s highway robbery!!!
Other favorites, I love the greasy bean curd roll with pork, bamboo, and mushroom inside. Those spring rolls they serve are awesomely crispy, meaty, and greasy with the worcestershire sauce they sprinkle on top. And finally, I always get the congee or rice porridge with the 1000 year old egg. I love dim sum!!!
This is the only channel I can express my Chinese side of me. I love this channel. Keep up the good work. This is the only channel I've seen who talks not only about mandarin but of Cantonese. Thank you for what you do.
Proud Cantines here 🙌 yam cha is the best, especially the egg tarts 😍
I'm not Canto, I'm mandarin but i LOVE Dim Sum, i love the Fried Squid, Egg Tarts and Sui Mai.
My mouth is watering as i'm typing
Élise Chow Yassss but the Portuguese egg tarts though
Élise Chow in mandarin it's called ying cha
High Five!
actually yin cha
I don't understand why I keep watching all your food vids lol... oddly satisfying even though it makes me crave chinese food soo bad.
@DMccloudy go for one. You won't be dissapointed.
Felicia is right on this one. Siu Mai is one of the "standard measure" of how good a dim sum restaurant. For the Cantonese, if the Siu Mai of a restaurant is not good, it is a NOT qualify as a good dim sum restaurant.

Well done. It looks like CBS's 60 mins OT.
Moon Cake lol yeah it seemed like a documentary.
"Woo Kok" taro dumpling. With lite and crispy taro fluff, savory mashed taro, and little bits of ground pork inside. It is one of my favorites! If done properly its absolute heaven!
Yes, if done properly!!!! Unfortunately not true in many places!!!!!
Definitely do a desert list! Yum Cha deserts are my favorite!
Yes, yes, yes! do more dimsum dishes! I'm living vicariously here!
Dim Sum is my all time favorite choice of food. love it
I miss this food and the whole experience so much, when I was younger my auntie used to take us out all the time to Yum Cha restaurants where she'd order a whole pile of different stuff in Cantonese and I loved every bit of it. I wouldn't even know where to begin trying to order the same foods again in English, or without being able to follow her about the etiquette with the tea lol
I prefer the stir fry dishes. Thank you for sharing.
excellent production quality all around!
thanks!
Siu mai is one of my all time fave foods...
I like most in this list I try it so much there like heaven!
Excellent video! Makes me hungry!
Aaaaah!!! All these food are making me hungry 😍😍😍
You guys have just made me realize just how much I REALLY miss the Asian Culture and food since I left Sydney Australia for France...
I love your food videos, so informative 🖒 .... my mistake is watching them at night and get super hungry! lol
YES I LOVE THE LAST ONE!!!!!! The shrimp and the outside ❤️ 😱😱😱 perfect harmony
1= Cha Yee (Fish Fried Badder)
2= Nogw Ba Yeb (Cow Flank With Sauce)
3= Nie Wing Bow (Yoke Bun) (Either Steamed, Baked, or Flacky or whatever else it comes in.)
And YES please do more videos on your top ten Dim Sum, can't wait for your top ten Dessert List for the Dim Sum dining. Because I love Dessert especially ordering it at Dim Sum, almost as much maybe more than the items that I have listed.
I love dim sum, I love all the dim sum you mentioned
This list is pretty on point.
Yes, please do more videos about this food.
i know it will never be on this list but one of the things my family loves to order when i go to yum cha is gnao pai yiip (i found out it's called steamed beef tripe), meat wrapped with tofu skin, custard bun, black sesame roll, durian desserts. :) i whole heartedly recommend to try these out as well if you want to try out dim sum :D
I will try it when dim sum service begins, post-pandemic!
It's a great place to celebrate Birthdays for older people. People eat at Dim Sum restaurants for Weddings, reunions and baby celebrations.
I've had Siu Mai before and I loved it!!
I love this new video style, it makes your videos so much more unique!
Love these videos!
Yummmmm. I want to go for dim sum now.
Yes! Do desserts!! Life isn't complete without egg tarts!
Turnip cake with hot sauce best combo ever :)
I love and cook Siu Mai, har gao and Bauzi. Love them
Malaysian Chinese refer to Yum Cha as "chilling out at cafes/kopitiam/mamak stalls" and Dim Sum as what it is, Dim Sum. :-)
The Fallen Crows Yeah! It basically means just going out for food or drinks and hanging out casually!😊
My most fave dish is the sesame balls with the red bean filling.
But i love the turnip cakes.
Oh My, that's made me hungry!
MORE YUM CHA VIDEOS PLEASE I love NYC and find it hard to go to dimsum places without friends who know more about yum cha than I do ♡
Really appreciate explaining each dish
gives me a wave of memories!!!
you guys should do top 10 teas to drink during dim sum
Great job everyone! Nice video shooting and editing and style. Great information too. Keep up the good work. Make more videos like this. Excellent!
Looks yummy.
Yay! Yi's back!
I notice you guys do a lot of different Asian countries foods. That is except for Laos. We have a large Laos community here about an hour outside of Chicago. can you do a show where you show case some popular Laos dishes? Thanks have loved the channel for a few years now and love them all. I do notice we haven't seen much of Yi since her and Dan came back except for a few episodes. Hope to see more of her. She always had me laughing and smiling specially during skits.
I loving having yum cha or dim sum!! Especially at the big restaurant you guys are at in the video with the red walls.
Turnip Cake is my favorite too!
I always order all of these foods!
Very informative! Thanks for posting! Now I won't look like an idiot! You all rock!!
I agree with your whole list! I cannot wait to go Yumcha 🥰

Hey guys! Going to my first Yuma Cha experience today in Melbourne and this video helped heaps. Yey
Felicia is on the money... Good siu mai is hard to find, but when it's good it's pretty awesome.
The list overall though is so salt heavy. Gai lan should be on the list.
Great production guys! please add a dim sum desserts, that would be awesome!
one of the best chinese dish-type i've ever had in my life, and of course i keep wanting it over and over again (even now seeing this video makes me crave dim sum in the middle of the night). and BIG YES for turnip cake and har gao ! my to-go dim sum dishes every time. ah, add one more that's not in this list : salted-egg bun ❤❤❤ #drooling

Ever since Carmen hasn't been around, Mia is my new fave.
Damn, Dan pronounced Yum Cha pretty damn well for a non-Cantonese speaker.
But yay!, OTGW is doing more videos talking about Cantonese culture! Yay!

I'm famished just by looking. Now I've got cravings......
Yes please do more videos on dim sum as well as desserts
I'm half Japanese from Japan with some Chinese ancestry and I love Chinese food more than Japanese food lol.
Will you marry me?😍💓💞💘💗
opposite of you, but I love yum cha
GOSH I'm glad we have Yum Cha here in Sydney! :)
Loved the video! You just gained a subscriber!
I don’t think this channel is operating anymore
One of the more underrated dishes in dim sum is really the century egg porridge
Yum = Drink Cha = Tea
I'm Cantonese, so I am taught that.
Yi! Glad to see you again
Sum cha is ultimate fine dinning experience so these ladies explained very well
Steamed Char Siu Bao is the King of Dim Sum, imo. It was the OG, when elders paired their tea with them, whilst bringing their pet birds to the restaurant. It even have a 60s gogo song named after it.
my FAVORITE is the turnip cake 😍😍😍😍 and the chicken feet 😍😍😘😘that's what I come for
Love this! That British(?) woman in grey shirt was SUPER FUNNY!!!!
Felicia's an Aussie. Mia is Indonesian. Both are Chinese - specifically Cantonese - by ethnicity.
I didn't mean Mia, Felicia or yin. I meant the other person in blue shirt! I haven't seen her before
whenever i eat out with my relatives and family, we order the really simple dishes
It's my favorite! From the Midwest married my husband. He was born in Hong Kong and introduced it to me. It is the best! Now we live in San Francisco. We eat out a lot. Chicken feet and sui mui are my favorite!
nice!
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 omg I love yam cha.... obsessed!❤❤
watching this in 2020 - i miss this sooo muchhh 😭😭😭
everytime I go I always get the shrimp dumpling cuz it's like life goals right thereee
Completely agree with the #1 Har Gao! Got it every time I go for Dim Sum! It is pretty sad when they break though...
Mia, Yi, Felisha and Dan, love u guys so much!! Me and my son have been on an Asian kick the last three or so years. We watch u all the time. Good to see u guys all together. I see ya'll went to Jing Fong. We are always there for dim sum and always in china town, but we always pick the same stuff all the time.

Yes, desserts would be great!
More Dim Sum dishes!!!
Mmmm! My BFF is Chinese and she opened my eyes to the world of Dim Sum and I've never looked back. I looooove it!

Chicken feet and prawn dumplings are my absolute favourite 😋
Making me hungry 😀
Dim Sum doesn't mean "touch your heart", It means "pick what you want want" or more specifically "pick what your heart desires"
點心 - Dim Sum
點歌 - Pick Song (when you call into a radio station and request a song to be played)
It can be interrupted in both way. Both way is correct; It is up to the personal choice.
This is making me hungry...
poor siu mai...you guys under rate it but it's sooo tasty!!!
lin90210 I was literally waiting for it
I got over my balking at chicken feet as at my age any collagen is a good thing. I now love them, especially with black bean. My other favorites is turnip cake and the rice noodles. Always so fun with ho fun.
lmao the white guy who said yummy tea
You sounded a bit stereotype. Great Britain has long history of drinking tea although they like putting milk with it. I do agree that drinking tea and its brewing technique are staple from China. Unfortunately, modern China has lost them and Japanese have preserved them so well and respected its brewing practice. Even tea farms are top graded. Taiwanese also treat drinking tea superior.
moon cake I think he meant that westerners are mistaking the "yum" from yum cha, it doesn't mean delicious but yum means drink. so together yum cha translates to drink tea. He never said anything sterotypical.
It didn't hurt a single drop of my feeling at all. He just hurt himself and embarrassed himself. hahaha.
If I misunderstood his meaning, my bad.
Gotta leave it to the white guy to say someting like that huh.
+Moon Cake i disagree china lost it....china still has immense number of kind of tea...and japanese has so little number of kind of tea compared to china...
I just came from Dim Sum and now there are more things that I wish we had tried!
Can you please tell me the BGM starting at 1:31 please~
so good to see Yi again!
Felicia's translation of law bok go(turnip cake) isn't quite accurate.....the "go" means cake.
#10 the beef meatball I never order it reminds me of canned dog food in ball form
Who's Cantonese here? Meee ✌🏼
Truee!! I only come for turnip cake :D
