How To YUM CHA: 10 MUST TRY Cantonese Dim Sum Dishes at my go-to Chinese Restaurant | Vlogmas 2022

[@dforman1267]

Your sister is so kind , warm and happy you are very lucky

[@simonktmwong8504]

Nice to see the carts are still being used over there, we are ordering dim sum off menu now.

[@PradeepRaajkumar1981]

I love DUMPLINGS- veggie and PORK Dumplings with OOLONG TEA.. when I lived in PRESTON,VICTORIA...

[@sallycheung300]

You're half right on the finger-tapping thing. During the trip of the emperor to the country, the emperor went to a restaurant/yum cha alike place with his servants, and he saw people pouring tea for others. He found it interesting and he did the same to others (ie his servants). His servants freaked out and wanted to do the bow thing but couldn't cos the emperor wanted to stay anonymous, so instead of doing the whole bow thing on the floor, they did it with their fingers to show their respect/thanks to the emperor. It's supposed to be bending fingers like kneeling down, but as time passes, nowadays people just tap with fingers rather than bending fingers.

[@kayo2711]

Interesting! I have always wondered why an Emperor would pour tea for others which without this addition detail would make this story implausible ;)

[@JaniceFung]

oooh I seee! thanks Sally :)

[@ddcristo]

Janice you're very family oriented. It's nice to see :)

[@irenecatlover9364]

Now I'm craving Dim Sum. Great video!

[@hewie2u]

[@JaniceFung]

[@mutley0007]

My top 4- har gow, sui mai, har cheung fun, and lo mai gai! My mouth is watering talking about it!

[@JaniceFung]

ooooh yes - lo mai Gai is like opening up a parcel of goodness!

[@leebs00]

Thank you for your vlog Janice. I really enjoy watching your vids, it's really nice the way you explain things and your relaxed manner. It's like I know you lol

[@toni-kaku]

Yayyy. Enjoying these. Please dont stop after xmas.

[@guppy0536]

Looks good

[@lish3557]

I thought the tapping on table when people serve you tea is to say thankyou. That is what I was told.

[@MulYeungCooking]

Golden Territory Seafood in Campsie is my fam’s go to yum cha spot. different styles/fillings of dumplings you don’t find elsewhere. also relatively cheap on a weekday

[@EarthlyHabits]

Awesome 👏 🤤. My favourite yum Cha in Sydney!🤙. It’s been a while

[@JaniceFung]

Cheers Andy!

[@susanshi8480]

never tried this place! thanks janice, needed a new go to yum cha place.

[@helenmak5542]

Thank you for sharing dim sum yum cha in Sydney. The dim sums look sooo delicious and so much better than many restaurants in Hong Kong.

[@JaniceFung]

thank you Helen! ☺️

[@gerardy7500]

Janice, didn't see you try the mango pancake. The mango pancake there is refreshing and yummy too.

[@JaniceFung]

We were too full afterwards, but yeah - the mango pancake is soooo good!

[@troylatimer2200]

Awesome looking feed mate , I love yum cha 🖤

[@JaniceFung]

cheers Troy!

[@SydneyFoodBoy]

Loved the video Janiceeee!!!

[@JaniceFung]

[@Piranabait]

Yum Cha is my favorite thing! Definitely something I do as often as I can. And yes the chicken’s feet are my favorite!

[@dfsydney]

Good choice Janice! I went with my parents the other day too.

[@JaniceFung]

[@Benjamin-ib4to]

Omg, the food looks amazing. Just like in HK. Thank you so much and have a great weekend. 😊

[@JaniceFung]

thanks for watching Benjamin!

[@duncanmit5307]

💜👍💜👍 love dim sum....great to see your family enjoying good food

[@JaniceFung]

thanks Duncan!

[@MrArkangel88]

I was expecting you to pronounce “cha siu” as in cha siu bao the mando way as you’ve done in previous videos, I’m glad you said it correctly like how your mom pronounces it

[@kaoz2711]

Omg it looks so good! i used to go to east ocean for yum cha but must try this place😍

[@JaniceFung]

I go to Haymarket so much but have actually never been to east ocean!

[@Michael.McPhee]

Our favourite to order at Palace are the Duck Dumplings. Sooo yum!

[@JaniceFung]

duck dumplings?!? I gotta go back and try that !

[@sharonozvenom]

My fav item at yum cha is the bean curd skin wrapped around pork/ prawn meat . There is also a dumpling which has meat and peanuts in it . I love yum cha and go at least once a month .

[@JaniceFung]

mmm I love the bean curd skin one too

[@lamourjerry]

Hey Janice! Can you also do a yum cha review of Royal Treasure Seafood Restaurant in Burwood? Love your vlogs btw!

[@peterc5318]

Yes, Janice, you should do a review of Royal Treasure 😁

[@darrylgiffin446]

My favourite is prawn and coriander and pork and garlic chives

[@JJ-rf7dg]

I like your top 10 but like to add tofu skin rolls and the pan fried pork and chive dumplings to the list.

[@_wuster]

Love pu’re tea!

[@JaniceFung]

My favourite!

[@JaniceFung]

I can drink it at night and stil be able to sleep haha

[@martykong3592]

: ) THANKS MUCH for sharing! I have most of the same at our Dim Sum on an opposite corner of the world in Pacific Northwest of USA : ) Yummm, but no Chicken Feet for me, as I had seem thousands of them when my Dad had a Chicken store in Chinatown.... ENJOY and ALL the BEST ! ! Cheers : )

[@irena-talita]

I love the palace restaurant ..Some of my favourite yum cha dishes is the sesame balls ,chicken feet, fried squid & the pork ribs ..Great video Janice you are doing such a great job with vlogmas 🎄🥰❤️

[@JaniceFung]

awww thank you so much Irena!

[@JaniceFung]

I love fried squid !

[@iris4547]

im open to trying anything, though havent had any good tripe as of yet. last time i had it was at japanese bbq so probably my own fault since we all had a bit to drink so probably didnt cook it right. but also had tripe in pho and such and its always unpleasantly chewy without any real flavour to speak of. liver and kidneys are my jam.

[@dizzygay_maree9558]

Hi Janice, I'm new to your channel. I was brought here because of a card game 'Yum Cha' that I bought a couple of weeks ago, and after the tutorial to the mahjong themed card game, your video came up. I'm now hooked, and watching your videos. A couple of years back, I was invited to a restaurant serving vegan yum cha here in Sydney, with a group of 19, for the mid-Autumn Festival. I was overly impressed with the presentation, taste and value of the food. In total we spent roughly $40pp, and I left a generous tip after. I can't wait to see your next video 😊

[@JaniceFung]

thank you so much! I am now super curious about this yum cha card game you're talking about haha

[@ozzymick1431]

Your explanation of tapping 2 fingers as a symbol of bowing and thanking the person for pouring your tea is the same story as told to me by a professor at a Chinese university where I taught English 10 years ago. But the 2 fingers should be bent at the first knuckle and tapping should be done on the those knuckles to accentuate the bowing action. Loved your simple explanations and very tempting selection of the dishes.

[@wingyu7696]

Every so often we go to Dallas, Houston, Vegas, SF & NYC for Dim Sums😋😋😋In between just watch your videos for the fixes🫡🫡🫡

[@JaniceFung]

haha love it! thanks for watching guys!

[@michaelj2528]

All the food looked amazing, not sure about chicken feet lol . Great video

[@JaniceFung]

haha the chicken feet takes some getting used to

[@fatdoi003]

best steam rice roll is wrapped with fried stick

[@JaniceFung]

yess love that with congee!

[@longttang]

Hi Janice 👋🏻

[@JaniceFung]

hellllllo

[@mrsloveandsushi]

My in-laws make really good law bok go around Chinese New Year, yet when we go yumcha, I still need to have it there! It brings back so many memories of my childhood sitting for so long at a table and not understanding the adult conversation haha. I also really loved the fried taro puff too.

[@JaniceFung]

haha it always takes soooo long to wait for a seat !

[@whkoh7619]

another day done ✅

[@JaniceFung]

yessss 💪🏻

[@mookatgirl7680]

Yummmmm!!! Love Palace for yum cha. They have the best tripe! Eddy loves “harm sui gok” (which he calls “the cutty thing” 😂), “darn tart” and “ma lai go”, but he’s disappointed they no longer make “ngau lei so” (the churros like thing) 😕 thanks for all your vlogs!!

[@robyn_roamz]

You always talk about "My Sister". We have seen her so often in December, it would be really nice to know her name. She looks like a good sister and a lot of fun. Oh, and I always leave the chickens' feet for my son and daughter-in-law. I'm adventurous but there are some things I don't want to try.

[@Jay-su5yo]

Did you order the fried octopus tentacles

[@JaniceFung]

no I didnt this time round

[@user-sm3ru1fm6g]

The yam dumpling decorates like a duck is so funny! Normally that sort of decoration is for cream puff.

[@toni-kaku]

I love the tripe. Nice texture and i like the gingery taste. Chicken feet is too much hassle to eat so little meat i feel.

[@kateeekate9966]

Haven't been to yum cha in ages! I definitely have everything on your list except tripe and chicken feet 🤣 But I would replace with asian greens with oyster sauce and mango pancakes 😋

[@JaniceFung]

oooh yes mango pancakes there are sooo good! but we were too full by the time we went through everything haha

[@jasperkelly181]

Have you visited any of my recommend restaurants yet

[@JaniceFung]

Stay tuned for tmrs vlog 😉

[@kiyoshitakeda452]

My favorite vlog for now. Yumcha was excellent. You handled the chicken feet like a real master 師父Janice. The emperor must have been a Manchu. Guangzhou was the center of anti-Ching resistance in China...反清复明. Vlogs great keep it up. Thanks!

[@nicolasrobitaille3259]

The chicken fingers are next level. I am not there yet! Too intimidating! I like tripes but I prefer another part of the intestine. The one you ate is not for everybody in my opinion. Overall, I love this kind of food. You sister looks like she is a member of the secret services 0:43 😎

[@dbrown101272]

I was told the tea thing is so you don’t have to pause your talking and/or eating, simply acknowledging the pourer with a tap.

[@JaniceFung]

that also makes sense

[@shukeecheang6278]

Yummy😊

[@Hadrianus01]

I'm (still) so sad that Marigold shut down :(

[@Frodokeuh]

7:16 i take the bones out of my mouth with chopsticks what lvl am i? 😄

[@JaniceFung]

master level but more civilised hahaha

[@Frodokeuh]

@@JaniceFung 😄

[@josephlownang6992]

good video

[@JaniceFung]

cheers Joseph!

[@jumbokevin]

Your mum didn't mention Gow Choi Gau as one of the dim sum classics! What a travesty 😅

[@athenarose1259]

You have the same last name as me

[@peterc5318]

Hi Janice, great video, all those dishes are also my go to dishes when at yum cha 😍 , parking is a pain in the city so never been to Palace but I’ve heard it’s good, you should try Royal Treasure in Burwood, standard is pretty similar 😀

[@gerardy7500]

They do have a parking at Piccadilly building where the Yum Cha place is. I think you get free parking for dining there. Unsure if this arrangement is still in place. But you are right, I hate driving in that part of the city as there is many one way street and traffic at snail pace. It's a shame that they got rid of the monorail.

[@stevey7059]

I know Sydney have much better dim sums than Melbourne, they're much more like Hong Kong standard. Also it's rip off here that each dish only got 3 pieces instead of 4 like yours in Sydney. And almost every dim sum is charged at large or superior price. You can't fill up your stomach without paying $50 each, so Yum Cha here is considered as luxuary dinning sadly when this is something everyone can afford in Hong Kong that I used to go twice in a week back there but now once in a month here. That's why I went to China Bar the other day where you have yum cha all you can eat for one price.

[@yourenodaisy2391]

So the person who pour tea is respected as an emperor, but if you have any decency the son or sometimes the youngest will pour tea for his grandparents, in-law, parents, wife or girlfriend then the guests and then to himself last.

[@kayo2711]

**Cough cough** Beef tripe is beef stomach my friend **cough cough**..

[@JaniceFung]

Hahahahha my bad

[@tedklampett1737]

this video should have a warning at the beginning . don't watch on an empty stomach . :)

[@JaniceFung]

hahah grab a snack!

[@mattb7450]
