yeaah so all these recent posts are about food..and i don't feel like doing english hw on nature right now so imma look at more food! and drool while talking about them! hahahhh get ready!
this time i'm gonna talk about yum cha, or dim sum as many call it. it's SO GOOD. yes good is the best adjective i can use for this..but it's the truth :] reminds me of that song by JIN called "yum dam cha". ahhh i love going to yum cha for lunch (:
so with dim sum, it has a lot of shrimp. i'm not big on shrimp..but i AM big on other stuff.
for example, i like loh mai gai. at first if you're canto, you think chicken because of the gai. but it's not chicken. it's rice wrapped in this tea lotus leaf thing. inside the covering is this stick rice that's normally with some sausages cut up, some meat, and egg yolk. it's SO GOOD :] mhmm my favorite word to describe this stuffff.
many people like cha siu bao which is a white bun with roast pork in it, but it's not my favorite. i guess it's good though?
what i like is this plain white bun called MAN TAO. you dip it in condensed milk. mhmm i love my condensed milk!
so another thing i LOVE about dim sum is the FRIED TARO BALLS. these are AMAZINGGG. <33 this is like the taste of heaven. so good ^^
oh yes, another we cannot miss! it's the churng fun! they're like noodles but not really. elky's favorite too! so how can i not mention it? there are different kinds, like shrimp and meat. here's the pic of the shrimp one.
now let's move on from the main food to the sweet stuffff. THE DESSERTS!!!! how can you ever miss them??
i'm gonna start out with egg tarts, or dahn tat as we call it (: these are so good.
i also like mango pudding. mmm and you put sweet milk on top (: not sure if it's condensed, but if it is, this is lighter than the other condensed milk used w/ man tao, which is thick condensed milk.
so uhhh i can't find the perfect picture. but i bet you know what it looks like :D
weeeeee done with my yum cha/dim sum theme! (:
now on to my favorite baos! (:
yum cha! dim sum timee!
