Slow lunch - Cantonese “Dim Sum Yum Cha” 廣式飲茶steemCreated with Sketch.

in #food8 years ago (edited)

Yum Cha in Cantonese literally means “drinking tea”, tea is essential to yum chai that must go with dim sum like spring rolls, pork dumplings (siu mai) and shrimp dumplings (ha gow).

Family or friends go in group to a Cantonese restaurant “Cha Lau” for some chatter and laughter, of course tea and Cantonese dim sum.

Check your favourite foods on an order sheet, give it to a server, hey presto, your steamy and piping hot dim sum will arrive out from the kitchen.

My wife and I had Yum Cha today. We had some good two hours for slow lunch before picking up my boy from school.

  • Shrimp dumplings (steamed in a bamboo steamer)
  • a turnip cake (made of white radish),
  • pineapple buns (with a thin crispy coating on top but no pineapple in it at all. It is just how everyone calls it)
  • and egg yolk custard buns (runny and oozy) are a must for us.

It was absolutely fulfilling, not just the foods I had but also the particular moment I could slow down for slow lunch.

I hope you have enjoyed my post. Thank you for stopping by and see you in a bit.

慢餐 - 廣式飲茶

粵語中的“飲茶”的意思是“喝茶”,茶是必不可少的,但同時必須吃春捲和蝦餃等點心。

一般都是家人或朋友去一家”茶樓”,享受一些喋喋不休的笑聲,當然還有茶和點心。

在餐單上點你最喜歡的食物,拿給服務員。嘿,你很快就吃到的熱熱的點心。

我和太太今天飲茶餐。我們不趕時間,有兩個小時的午餐時間。

  • 蝦餃(用蒸籠蒸)
  • 蘿蔔糕(由白蘿蔔製成),
  • 菠蘿包(頂部薄脆皮,但沒有菠蘿,但人人都稱之為)
  • 奶油包(流心)是我們必點的。

這絕對是滿足的,不僅僅是我吃過的食物,也是我可以放慢速度慢下來的時刻。

我希望你喜歡我的帖子。謝謝你到來,再見。

Nice post and beautiful photo!

Please come and visit my foodblog, too!

I love the Haw Kau and the egg yolk custard buns. Thought at first that it is salted egg pau, then saw your info below. Where is this yam char restaurant? Is it pricy?
Thanks for sharing.
@jackpot

What we usually know about those custard buns is that they are made of white dough, but more pastry chefs working in Canton restaurants these days in HK are starting to make fancy desserts to visually please patrons. Salted egg yolk is grounded and added to dough kneading to give that appearance.

It was about 250 in HK dollar. If you happen to travel to Hong Kong, 'brace' yourself for steep prices here and there. My honest advice is avoid HK as a destination unless you fancy shopping and night life, but these are not in short supply in where you live, I guess.

Some has said quite a lot of skilfull and old-school dim sum chefs have migrated to Australia, not surprisingly, it is easy to savour excellent dim sum there, isn't it?

Mmm this all looks so yummy! Now I want dim sum.

Thanks for stopping by. I'll treat you to some tea and dim sum, do savour them. :-)
