Shui mai and steamed pork buns are my absolute favorites. One place we go also has a pan fried pork ginger dumpling that is awesome.</p> <p>I would also encourage you to just try things that look good to you, even if you don't know what it is - it's fun and fairly low investment if you don't like it.</p> <p>Have a great meal! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-out-for-dim-sum-what-should-i-order#post-742696 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 14:15:48 +0000 Alivoo01 742696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Everything!!!
