These are wide rice noodles that are steamed and then rolled. They are often filled with different types of meats or vegetables inside but can be served without any filling. Rice noodle rolls are fried after they are steamed and then sprinkled with sesame seeds.

SIONG HOI SIU LUNG BAU or shang hai steamed buns

These dumplings are filled with meat or seafood and are famous for their flavor and rich broth inside.

SWEET THINGS COMES LAST

DOU FU FA or beancurd jelly

A dessert consisting of silky tofu served with a sweet ginger-flavored syrup.

DAN TAT or egg tart

composed of a base made from either a flaky puff pastry type dough or a type of non-flaky cookie dough with an egg custard filling, which is then baked.

A sip of tea to aid in digestion after eating these high calorie dim sums

Oolong tea

Its taste is more similar to green tea than black tea, but has less a "grassy" flavor than green tea.

Pu erh tea

A popular tea which is said to aid in digestion is pu erh ta which is a strong, fermented tea.
