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
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!!!
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! 👍👍👍
"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!
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
Reminds me of sitting with my family in an authentic Chinese palace in Oregon and having rose tea , my uncle had moon cake and my grandfather had stories about childhood that had everyone laugh.
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.
I actually know about a couple of yum cha places close to my parent's old house. The first place is East Ocean Seafood Restaurant in Alameda, while the other is Cinnamon Tree in Oakland Chinatown. It was at Cinnamon Tree that I first had chicken feet as well as tripe. Also, the reaction at 7:27 had me laughing so hard, I nearly swallowed the gum I was chewing!
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.
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.
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..!
Do another one cause this one hit like all but one of my favorites! Like do another one on the desserts that start rolling out at the end of dim sum or all the time really😅
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
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!!
My sister in-law made some of them deep fried dumplings and they were delicious. And I love how the pronunciation siu sounds in both mandarin and cantonese.
Har Gao is my absolute favorite and I will devour all of it if I see it on the table. I has gotten to the point where my mom will order 2 just for me and get another for everyone else. As for rice noodles, I love the shrimp one but I never eat it right away. I usually leave it marinate in the sauce for 2 minutes on each side, which probably leaves me for an entire plate for myself. Again lol
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
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
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!!!
proud canadian white guy ! I love dim sum and you guys are so much fun thankyou.
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.
"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!!!!!
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
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!!!
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.
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.
Moon Cake lol yeah it seemed like a documentary.
I love your food videos, so informative 🖒 .... my mistake is watching them at night and get super hungry! lol
Love these videos!
Definitely do a desert list! Yum Cha deserts are my favorite!
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
Excellent video! Makes me hungry!
Dim Sum is my all time favorite choice of food. love it
Very informative! Thanks for posting! Now I won't look like an idiot! You all rock!!

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 ♡
I love this new video style, it makes your videos so much more unique!
My most fave dish is the sesame balls with the red bean filling.
But i love the turnip cakes.
Great job everyone! Nice video shooting and editing and style. Great information too. Keep up the good work. Make more videos like this. Excellent!
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.

I love and cook Siu Mai, har gao and Bauzi. Love them
Really appreciate explaining each dish
Turnip cake with hot sauce best combo ever :)
I've had Siu Mai before and I loved it!!
Completely agree with the #1 Har Gao! Got it every time I go for Dim Sum! It is pretty sad when they break though...
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...
gives me a wave of memories!!!
excellent production quality all around!
thanks!
GOSH I'm glad we have Yum Cha here in Sydney! :)
Oh My, that's made me hungry!
Yes, please do more videos about this food.
Hey guys! Going to my first Yuma Cha experience today in Melbourne and this video helped heaps. Yey
I agree with your whole list! I cannot wait to go Yumcha 🥰
Siu mai is one of my all time fave foods...
everytime I go I always get the shrimp dumpling cuz it's like life goals right thereee
Great production guys! please add a dim sum desserts, that would be awesome!
Yi! Glad to see you again

I will try it when dim sum service begins, post-pandemic!
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!😊
Yes! Do desserts!! Life isn't complete without egg tarts!
This made me so hungry. Will be having dimsum for merienda (snack) .... kuchay and pork and hakaw. Yummmmmmmy.
Your production value has been getting really sharp. Love the channel

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 just came from Dim Sum and now there are more things that I wish we had tried!
I prefer the stir fry dishes. Thank you for sharing.
Loved the video! You just gained a subscriber!
I don’t think this channel is operating anymore

You guys give me renewed confidence in my Cantonese. I thought my accent was heavy!
I love steamed bean sheet roll, that is my favorite dim sum dish
Sum cha is ultimate fine dinning experience so these ladies explained very well
Wow this makes me actually like dim sum I eat it like every day my favorites are the pineapple buns egg tarts and pretty much other stuff
Looks yummy.
I live for the BBQ Pork Bun! One day, I will be able to make them from scratch.
and my favourite is the chicken feet!!!! tastes AMAZING
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
I'm famished just by looking. Now I've got cravings......
Salt water corner! Hahaha..love the translation . (I translate in the same way). 🤣🤣
Do another one cause this one hit like all but one of my favorites! Like do another one on the desserts that start rolling out at the end of dim sum or all the time really😅
More Dim Sum dishes!!!
More dim sum vids please!! Also - bean curd rolls, taro buns, and sesame balls
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
I love taro fried balls and sole fish or whatever it's called. everything at dim sum is good and worth trying.
Great, now I'm really hungry. XD
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.
