When I was a kid, I go yamcha every sunday morning. And my parent forced me to drink chinese tea (oolong), which I hate. But now, everytime I go to chinese restaurant or dimsum place, i always order chinese tea. It suits well with the dishes. And now, i really really miss eating dimsum with my family, because i live in different island

[@OAS15]

ikr i used to hate tea, but now i can't live without it

[@georgeryerson5788]

proud canadian white guy ! I love dim sum and you guys are so much fun thankyou.

[@joshuablundell1790]

The girl talking about har gao is so funny when she talks about the skin ripping and you're left with a homeless prawn 😂 so true though

[@DMccloudy]

I don't understand why I keep watching all your food vids lol... oddly satisfying even though it makes me crave chinese food soo bad.

[@supawathorsuwan9306]

@DMccloudy go for one. You won't be dissapointed.

[@lynnkihara2323]

Thank you! I was researching dim sum and your video popped up. I really wanted to know the Chinese pronunciation of the dishes and most other vlogers either just say the English, or say the Chinese SO fast that I couldn't catch it. Breaking down the syllables was a big help, so thank you again! 👍👍👍

[@benthekeeshond545]

Other than Felicia, their pronunciation are just ok. Usually with a slight English accent. Typical ABCs.

[@jasonsaks7308]

Other favorites, I love the greasy bean curd roll with pork, bamboo, and mushroom inside. Those spring rolls they serve are awesomely crispy, meaty, and greasy with the worcestershire sauce they sprinkle on top. And finally, I always get the congee or rice porridge with the 1000 year old egg. I love dim sum!!!

[@Roger__Wilco]

I miss this food and the whole experience so much, when I was younger my auntie used to take us out all the time to Yum Cha restaurants where she'd order a whole pile of different stuff in Cantonese and I loved every bit of it. I wouldn't even know where to begin trying to order the same foods again in English, or without being able to follow her about the etiquette with the tea lol

[@Dolltronvr]

Dim Sum is my all time favorite choice of food. love it

[@yinjenchow2028]

Proud Cantines here 🙌 yam cha is the best, especially the egg tarts 😍

[@leosteamedbaozi9867]

I'm not Canto, I'm mandarin but i LOVE Dim Sum, i love the Fried Squid, Egg Tarts and Sui Mai. My mouth is watering as i'm typing

[@pleh861]

Élise Chow Yassss but the Portuguese egg tarts though

[@sandytrieu1233]

Élise Chow in mandarin it's called ying cha

[@hongtse6723]

High Five!

[@vesperiaLSU]

actually yin cha

[@tyraelgoo]

Definitely do a desert list! Yum Cha deserts are my favorite!

[@sojubestie]

This is the only channel I can express my Chinese side of me. I love this channel. Keep up the good work. This is the only channel I've seen who talks not only about mandarin but of Cantonese. Thank you for what you do.

[@kenm.2793]

I love this new video style, it makes your videos so much more unique!

[@impooser]

Excellent video! Makes me hungry!

[@fredericasteller7280]

Love these videos!

[@marybarca19]

I love your food videos, so informative 🖒 .... my mistake is watching them at night and get super hungry! lol

[@maixiong7231]

Aaaaah!!! All these food are making me hungry 😍😍😍

[@phan.s6856]

YES I LOVE THE LAST ONE!!!!!! The shrimp and the outside ❤️ 😱😱😱 perfect harmony

[@janene4734]

MORE YUM CHA VIDEOS PLEASE I love NYC and find it hard to go to dimsum places without friends who know more about yum cha than I do ♡

[@krazykuilter]

Yes, yes, yes! do more dimsum dishes! I'm living vicariously here!

[@aizagui]

Very informative! Thanks for posting! Now I won't look like an idiot! You all rock!!

[@katbratcan]

I love dim sum, I love all the dim sum you mentioned

[@Va1karius]

My most fave dish is the sesame balls with the red bean filling. But i love the turnip cakes.

[@vladimirussachevsky1315]

"Woo Kok" taro dumpling. With lite and crispy taro fluff, savory mashed taro, and little bits of ground pork inside. It is one of my favorites! If done properly its absolute heaven!

[@loveispatient0808]

Yes, if done properly!!!! Unfortunately not true in many places!!!!!

[@quankuang9844]

I like most in this list I try it so much there like heaven!

[@rockandjazz]

Great job everyone! Nice video shooting and editing and style. Great information too. Keep up the good work. Make more videos like this. Excellent!

[@JadenYukifan28]

I've had Siu Mai before and I loved it!!

[@chiefenumclaw7960]

excellent production quality all around!

[@NTDOffTheGreatWall]

thanks!

[@mooncake5016]

This video format is kinda funny in a way as far as talking about dim sum and yum cha. It's like historic documentation style to bring people back to feel its original and traditional style. Well done. It looks like CBS's 60 mins OT.

[@WingChunBoyz]

Moon Cake lol yeah it seemed like a documentary.

[@annielin2835]

I loving having yum cha or dim sum!! Especially at the big restaurant you guys are at in the video with the red walls.

[@beeeru52]

Turnip cake with hot sauce best combo ever :)

[@honorablekunglao]

Two things that happen to me every time my family eat Dim Sum: 1. Have to take home food because we cannot finish it all and 2. The bill is in the three digits.

[@jncchang176]

Whaaaatttt? Back in 1980’s, maybe. Or you have 8+ people eating.... Nowadays, they’ve become larger portions but lower prices.

[@Owain99]

Where I live you could be paying £60 per person

[@andy56duky]

@Sean L but it's not the same price everywhere

[@loveispatient0808]

@@Owain99 that’s highway robbery!!!

[@crashbot01]

Really appreciate explaining each dish

[@kumquats2842]

gives me a wave of memories!!!

[@MeeegaBello]

I love and cook Siu Mai, har gao and Bauzi. Love them

[@Sarah-fw9cg]

Oh My, that's made me hungry!

[@chrisofmelbourne87]

Hey guys! Going to my first Yuma Cha experience today in Melbourne and this video helped heaps. Yey

[@that1guy335]

Your production value has been getting really sharp. Love the channel

[@L8rCloud]

You guys have just made me realize just how much I REALLY miss the Asian Culture and food since I left Sydney Australia for France...

[@windsonma8209]

1= Cha Yee (Fish Fried Badder) 2= Nogw Ba Yeb (Cow Flank With Sauce) 3= Nie Wing Bow (Yoke Bun) (Either Steamed, Baked, or Flacky or whatever else it comes in.) And YES please do more videos on your top ten Dim Sum, can't wait for your top ten Dessert List for the Dim Sum dining. Because I love Dessert especially ordering it at Dim Sum, almost as much maybe more than the items that I have listed.

[@kkailinn4552]

everytime I go I always get the shrimp dumpling cuz it's like life goals right thereee

[@Hi_Im_Jie]

Great production guys! please add a dim sum desserts, that would be awesome!

[@silvertail123]

Completely agree with the #1 Har Gao! Got it every time I go for Dim Sum! It is pretty sad when they break though...

[@asianteasets]

Yes please do more videos on dim sum as well as desserts

[@colinbrown3170]

Reminds me of sitting with my family in an authentic Chinese palace in Oregon and having rose tea , my uncle had moon cake and my grandfather had stories about childhood that had everyone laugh.

[@svenjainternational4488]

I agree with your whole list! I cannot wait to go Yumcha 🥰

[@andyd2k]

Yes, desserts would be great!

[@littlecarlitostrujillo2497]

Yes, please do more videos about this food.

[@rosieliem_]

one of the best chinese dish-type i've ever had in my life, and of course i keep wanting it over and over again (even now seeing this video makes me crave dim sum in the middle of the night). and BIG YES for turnip cake and har gao ! my to-go dim sum dishes every time. ah, add one more that's not in this list : salted-egg bun ❤❤❤ #drooling

[@shadyzbabii420]

Great videoooo ♡

[@BunnyFett]

Yummmmm. I want to go for dim sum now.

[@YankDownUnder62]

GOSH I'm glad we have Yum Cha here in Sydney! :)

[@angelarafael9875]

Siu mai is one of my all time fave foods...

[@nicolecangemi1990]

Loved the video! You just gained a subscriber!

[@nong1470]

I don’t think this channel is operating anymore

[@FirstLast-kr1fw]

This made me so hungry. Will be having dimsum for merienda (snack) .... kuchay and pork and hakaw. Yummmmmmmy.

[@mindyflann]

Yi! Glad to see you again

[@BunnyFett]

This list is pretty on point.

[@tammy_lol6446]

my FAVORITE is the turnip cake 😍😍😍😍 and the chicken feet 😍😍😘😘that's what I come for

[@neoniahazelwood9263]

I prefer the stir fry dishes. Thank you for sharing.

[@AshtroSmash]

Yes! Do desserts!! Life isn't complete without egg tarts!

[@Cibesuki]

I got over my balking at chicken feet as at my age any collagen is a good thing. I now love them, especially with black bean. My other favorites is turnip cake and the rice noodles. Always so fun with ho fun.

[@danae5578]

yesssss pleeeeeeaseeee! More Dim Sum, please!!! PLEEEASEEE!?

[@Raneshower777]

I wish we had one of these restaurants in Nc! Looks deeelicious!

[@lschoenrank]

I just came from Dim Sum and now there are more things that I wish we had tried!

[@helenfong3339]

Sticky rice/chicken & pork wrapped in lotus leaf is my favorite!! YUMMM :)

[@lilli7040]

i know it will never be on this list but one of the things my family loves to order when i go to yum cha is gnao pai yiip (i found out it's called steamed beef tripe), meat wrapped with tofu skin, custard bun, black sesame roll, durian desserts. :) i whole heartedly recommend to try these out as well if you want to try out dim sum :D

[@ems7623]

I will try it when dim sum service begins, post-pandemic!

[@PeiyunPianist]

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 omg I love yam cha.... obsessed!❤❤

[@phone7x7]

Turnip Cake is my favorite too!

[@mel-jm3et]

Wow this makes me actually like dim sum I eat it like every day my favorites are the pineapple buns egg tarts and pretty much other stuff

[@asumasarutobi8743]

you guys should do top 10 teas to drink during dim sum

[@PooMonkeyMan]

Damn, Dan pronounced Yum Cha pretty damn well for a non-Cantonese speaker. But yay!, OTGW is doing more videos talking about Cantonese culture! Yay!

[@trashalt2857]

Great, now I'm really hungry. XD

[@82pepsigirl]

Do another one cause this one hit like all but one of my favorites! Like do another one on the desserts that start rolling out at the end of dim sum or all the time really😅

[@mjans188]

Truee!! I only come for turnip cake :D

[@elizabethcoen]

I actually know about a couple of yum cha places close to my parent's old house. The first place is East Ocean Seafood Restaurant in Alameda, while the other is Cinnamon Tree in Oakland Chinatown. It was at Cinnamon Tree that I first had chicken feet as well as tripe. Also, the reaction at 7:27 had me laughing so hard, I nearly swallowed the gum I was chewing!

[@woojacky]

I'm famished just by looking. Now I've got cravings......

[@honeylavender6832]

Chicken feet and prawn dumplings are my absolute favourite 😋

[@yashtiraj2091]

Looks yummy.

[@cafezo87934]

I love taro fried balls and sole fish or whatever it's called. everything at dim sum is good and worth trying.

[@elcee3732]

so good to see Yi again! Felicia's translation of law bok go(turnip cake) isn't quite accurate.....the "go" means cake. #10 the beef meatball I never order it reminds me of canned dog food in ball form

[@canned3ggs]

You guys give me renewed confidence in my Cantonese. I thought my accent was heavy!

[@bemer65351]

I love steamed bean sheet roll, that is my favorite dim sum dish

[@kawaiiafangirl]

Yay! Yi's back!

[@MsCherade9]

More Dim Sum dishes!!!

[@dapplewing5522]

omg I used to go to restaurants like this all the time.

[@tiiyaishathomas610]

Mia, Yi, Felisha and Dan, love u guys so much!! Me and my son have been on an Asian kick the last three or so years. We watch u all the time. Good to see u guys all together. I see ya'll went to Jing Fong. We are always there for dim sum and always in china town, but we always pick the same stuff all the time. Pretty much what u mentioned here, minus the pig feet lol. pls give a list of more and the name other dim sum place in the video!! Would love to visit it. Always excited to see more!!

[@GacktSe7en]

My sister in-law made some of them deep fried dumplings and they were delicious. And I love how the pronunciation siu sounds in both mandarin and cantonese.

[@TubeDeviant]

Plan A: Start a family with Felicia and eat dim sum every weekend.. And not forgetting to order more than one steamer of Ha Gow.. Also LOVE the chicken clay pot rice..!! And the steamed chicken buns..!

[@jacquesmorgan7553]

Making me hungry 😀

[@AwesomeBossErzaScarlet]

and my favourite is the chicken feet!!!! tastes AMAZING

[@johnliu8953]

Sum cha is ultimate fine dinning experience so these ladies explained very well

[@Rich168]

Salt water corner! Hahaha..love the translation . (I translate in the same way). 🤣🤣

[@amandagoins7255]

These always make me so hungry, I've never had dim sum but I want to soo bad

[@helloiexist1274]

[@phoenixrising7777]

Great now I am starving!

[@tsuro894]

[@greatboredompineappl]

[@bingchas4359]
