In the west, most people associated "yum cha" as going out for a Dim Sum meal. "Yum cha" in Cantonese means drinking tea.

Chinese Tea is a must have if you're eating Dim Sum. Sipping tea while enjoying your favourite Dim Sum will excite your appetite and have the "want more" feeling.

Char Siu Pao

Steamed egg plant with fish paste

'Siu Mai'

'har gao' ( Prawns are wrapped inside )

'yi mai' ( Made of fish paste )

We aren't sure what this is called, but it was good.

'Siu long bao'
It goes really nice with the ginger and vinegar provided.

Basically, it is a sweet bun filled with roast pork.
Yummy!

Comments: Great service. One thing we like most is, their Dim Sum are steamed on the spot for the customers. You choose the Dim Sum, and they will steam them for you right away! So, your Dim Sum would be hot and nice.
Tell me, do you prefer cold dim sums or those which are freshly out from the fires! You know your choice!
