Product Description
Product Description
Why limit yourself to the English menu when ordering dim sum? Chinese teacher Liza Chu has a part-time career as a Hong Kong dim sum guide, and she has distilled her knowledge of Cantonese cuisine and dining etiquette into this practical guidebook to eating out. Each photographed dish is identified with Chinese characters and a pronunciation guide. Icons alert those with allergies or special diets, and there's a special listing of dim sum dishes most popular with children. Master chefs explain their cooking methods, and even the art of tea drinking is covered in detail. This little book is your passport to a world of adventurous - and delicious - dim sum.

Dim Sum: A survival Guide
19 Mar 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Good pictures, descriptions and yet small enough to carry with me. I love it.
Can't wait to point and order my favorites at a dim sum restaurant and maybe
even try to order in Chinese!

Dim Sum: A Survival Guide
26 July 2010
Format:Paperback
Having lived in Hong Kong for over 35 years I am still not an expert when it comes to ordering dim sum! This little guide is a perfect way to learn more about the food we 'locals' eat at least once a week and should persuade you to order some new things! It also makes a great welcome to town gift for friends new to cities with great dim sum on offer. Concierges in Asian cities take note, this book should definitely be on hand for any guests heading out for dim sum.
