I love, love, love dim sum but unfortunately I live in a city that doesn't have a single dim sum restaurant :( My mom is coming to visit next month so I'll try to talk her into going to NYC Chinatown to have dim sum. Growing up we use to go to Chinatown every weekend to have dim sum and I just took it for granted. Never again will I do that. </p> <p>Don tat, shu mai, nor mai fon, char sui bao, har gow... oh my! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dim-sum#post-157711 Mon, 14 May 2012 09:22:36 +0000 SAHM0811 157711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love dim sum... My favorite dim sum desserts are don tats (egg custard) and almond jelly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dim-sum#post-157691 Mon, 14 May 2012 09:17:47 +0000 Alivoo01 157691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hubby and I LOVE LOVE LOVE dim sum. We had for lunch yesterday, actually. Yum! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dim-sum#post-157672 Mon, 14 May 2012 09:09:25 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 157672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OMG love the steamed pork buns. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dim-sum#post-157665 Mon, 14 May 2012 09:03:56 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 157665@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: Yup... I think she was also slightly impressed that I figured out what she was saying and that it wasn't very nice fairly quickly. I always dated Asian guys before Mr. Jacks and thought I'd have beautiful mixed race babies, so it was quite a treat to find out that Maisie was 1/4 Asian! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dim-sum#post-157189 Sun, 13 May 2012 16:24:11 +0000 katdevargas 157189@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ooh dim sum... we were supposed to go next weekend (the place we lake is over an hour away, so we don't get to go very often) &amp; I have no idea what I'm eating when we go. we basically just order one of everything that looks good &amp; eat it. so good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dim-sum#post-157183 Sun, 13 May 2012 15:58:42 +0000 chopsuey 157183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: we had pork buns too! Yum!!! I'm still full from lunch! Glad you enjoyed your dimsum!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dim-sum#post-157179 Sun, 13 May 2012 15:52:13 +0000 mediagirl 157179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, he drove me halfway across the state to get it... and he suffered through it. :-) I couldn't convince him to get the chicken feet, though. Haha. Steamed pork buns are SO GOOD. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dim-sum#post-157152 Sun, 13 May 2012 15:10:40 +0000 chopsuey 157152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: Wow!! I've never tried chicken feet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dim-sum#post-157151 Sun, 13 May 2012 15:10:06 +0000 chopsuey 157151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did you get it?! Sorry for not taking pics of what we got!!!!<br /> Hope you enjoyed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dim-sum#post-157145 Sun, 13 May 2012 14:44:22 +0000 autumnlove 157145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: Awww. Gwei po? :-( I'm sure you had her when you ate the chicken feet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dim-sum#post-157133 Sun, 13 May 2012 13:56:33 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 157133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: Can you tell I used to date a Cantonese guy?! I think his mom tried to scare me away by taking me to Dim Sum. Once she saw me dive in, she was sold (and finally stopped calling me white devil in Cantonese... I knew what she was saying!!!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dim-sum#post-157124 Sun, 13 May 2012 13:21:32 +0000 autumnlove 157124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: yum to everything you mentioned! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dim-sum#post-157121 Sun, 13 May 2012 13:20:09 +0000 heffalump 157121@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yum! We rarely get to have it because DH has a sensitive stomach. Always a treat when we do get it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dim-sum#post-157108 Sun, 13 May 2012 12:30:41 +0000 lemondrop 157108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oooh! We've been once the day after a wedding, it was so good! I'm kind of scared to go again without a translator, the bride was great at helping us figure out what to get. I really remember these rolls with what seemed like refried beans inside, those were my favorites, but I have zero grasp on what anything was called. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dim-sum#post-157098 Sun, 13 May 2012 11:31:50 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 157098@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ha gow, Shu mai, char su, chicken feet, those little lotus leaf rice packets. Gah! I haven't had dim sum in forever! Oh and Jin deui for dessert! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dim-sum#post-157096 Sun, 13 May 2012 11:29:39 +0000 SugarplumsMom 157096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Each place has their specialty (of the typical dim sum fare, some places make a few dishes really, really good, while others will make it seem just OK). But I tend to always order shrimp sui mai, stuffed crab claw, BBQ. I really like turnip cake, but my local place back home doesn't make it great, so I just skip it.</p> <p>My suggestion is to be adventurous and try what looks good =) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dim-sum#post-157088 Sun, 13 May 2012 10:58:30 +0000 mediagirl 157088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband is taking me for dim sum for lunch today! What are some of your favorite things to get when you go for dim sum? </p>
