Corey's Dim Sum Page
 

Mmmm....Dim Sum..

These are my favourite Dim Sum dishes. I try to learn the Cantonese pronounciations for these, just in case the cart-pushers in the dim-sum restaurant don't speak much English.

There is some ettiquette required for dim-sum...nothing too involved, but you should be aware, especially if you're one of the few "gwai-loh" (white ghost) in the restaurant.

PS: I apologize to any Cantonese-speakers for my bad approximations of the pronunciations.
