Yum cha (which involves a selection of dim sum dishes followed by tea) has quickly become the trendy thing to do on the weekend. The steamed or fried dishes of seafood, duck, chicken, meat or vegetables are chosen from passing trolleys and are served on small plates. Although the servings are small, in a short time it is very easy to over eat these tasty Chinese-dishes.
A healthy hint is to try and limit the amount of fried dishes that you eat (such as spring rolls, dim sims, wontons, sesame seed balls), instead opting for the steamed varieties. For sweet dishes, the coloured jelly, rice pudding and bean curd custard are better choices than the coconut jelly, egg custard tarts and sweet cream buns. Another helpful hint is to decide on the types and number of dishes that you will order prior to beginning. If you pace yourself, this will help you to enjoy the cuisine instead of feeling ready to burst at the seems. And for the best yum cha experience, grab your friends together and trial dishes which you wouldn’t normally choose!
