I first went to "yum cha" with my family. "Yum Cha" refers to a Cantonese tradition of of brunch involving Chinese tea and dim sum, which is popular in Cantonese-speaking regions such as Hong Kong and Guangdong. It is a norm in HK that different groups of family go to yum cha in the afternoon. These are the dishes we ate:
我和家庭成員先到了港式茶樓「飲茶」，CN區的朋友都應該知道香港人的「飲茶」代表吃點心及喝中國茶。「飲茶」在廣東地區特別受歡迎，不少家庭都會在下午聚在一塊吃點心。以下是我們吃的點心：

"Xiao Mai" - Steamed dumplings with pork and prawns 燒賣

"Har Gao"- Steamed dumpling with shrimp filling 蝦餃

Steamed buns with milk custard filling (my favorite!) 奶黃包(我的最愛!)

Turnip cake 蘿蔔糕

The next day, I went to a nostalgic Hong Kong styled tea restaurant for lunch (normally known as "Cha Chaan Teng" in HK). This type of restaurants provides Hong Kong-style Western Cuisine, reflecting the influence of British culture in Hong Kong cuisine.
第二天，我跟朋友到一間懷舊港式茶餐廳吃午餐。港式茶餐廳的菜色融合了中西文化，體現了英國文化對香港飲食文化的影響。

Tram decoration in the middle of the resturant (Tram is the main transport in the 1970s of HK)
餐廳的中央有電車裝飾 (電車是香港七十年代的主要交通工具）

The menu is pinned on a table tennis racket (popular sport for kids in the 1970s-1980s)
菜單是釘在兵乓球拍上(七十至八十年代兵乓球很受孩童歡迎）
