How to eat Dim Sum

The world seems to get smaller by the minute, and as KZbin grows bigger, I often wonder: do people know how to eat dim sum? Well, I'm here as your Korean sister to share some insights on how to enjoy dim sum properly. Or at least, I'll try my best to guide you!
My husband, who is a bit shy, is the true expert. Born and raised in Hong Kong, the birthplace of dim sum-the true brunch of Asia-he has shared some key etiquette tips with me to share with you.
Dim Sum is for Sharing: Order as many dishes as you like, but remember, most steam baskets come with 3-5 pieces. It’s meant to be shared, so don’t hog all the delicious food!
Chopstick Etiquette: Never point or stab people or food with chopsticks; it's considered very rude. This one can be tricky for me since I'm quite forgetful and expressive with my hands.
Take Your Time: It’s common for families to stay at their table for hours, enjoying tea, reading the newspaper, and chatting. You’re allowed to stay as long as you like.
Tea Charges: You will be charged for tea per person, so don’t be surprised. However, if you become a regular, you might find that the tea is occasionally gifted to you.
In the video, I cover more, watch for more ;)

It’s good to have a man around the house to put things in perspective 😂

@1:45 My mom use to make that. I miss her very much especially Steam fish. There is another way that most people never have a chance to eat. Fried with egg. In all dimsum and Chinese buffet, yellow Chrysanthem in (HK) or Green Tea goes with it. It's to burn out the fat and grease.

I'm sorry for your loss. I'm glad this video can bring back some fond memories of her🥰. P.S. It is rare to find steamed daikon cake; most of the time, we come across the pan-fried kind.

@@Howlingkorean it's okay. Everyone will become orphan. It's the memory one should share and remember by. I told my wife to record her father's voice if possible. She doesn't listen though. I don't remember my mom's voice anymore. Wish I could but I do remember her food and I learn some. These would be expensive in the restaurant. Thit bo loc lac. It's a French cubicle beef with onion, tomatoes, salad. A plate would go for $20-$30. Beef flat noodle. My mom's version has more vegetables, less grease, and flat noodle in long strand. The restaurant has less vegetable, less meat, greasy and most of the time the flat noodle is chopped up. $15-$20 Oyster omelette. This is traditional Taiwanese dish. Lots of onion, oyster, green onion, and egg. This is a delicacy. Back then, only the rich eat this. If it's today's value, it can be $30-$50. Highly cholesterol plate. Teochew (minority Chinese) eat this too. I have never seen any restaurant doing this dish. Possibly because of the expense. You can search on youtube on this dish.
