Siew Mai is not complete without the type of chili sauce above. Siew Mai … traditional Chinese dumplings. Looks awful right? But they are quite harmless … just meat wrapped in bean curd rolls. You guys know what tripes are, right?īean Curd Rolls are another favourite of ours. If people who are not used to dim sum ask me what this is, I normally tell them “don’t ask, just eat”. Can someone confirm? I always thought that Potstickers are more Japanese than Chinese … you know, gyoza?īeef tripe … nice. Potstickers … I am not sure if this is really Chinese traditional dish. Oh, one thing we noticed here … they serve the dim sums in metal tiffin cans, not the normal bamboo basket we normally see.
#SEATTLE DIM SUM CHINATOWN HOW TO#
Suanne had never quite figure out how to make fluffy texture buns like these although her buns can beat any Char Sui Buns in the world, no kidding. The Char Sui Bau (BBQ Pork Bun) was equally superb. The formal name for this is “fung jau” which means Phoenix Claws. Some told me that there is no meat in it but I think its the thought of chicken feet walking around chicken shit that really puts people off.įor the Chinese, they don’t call this chicken feet. Until today, I am trying to fully figure out why chicken feet puts people off. But seriously, it is really good and we always order this for dim sum. He he he … I know almost all my whites friends do not touch it. We were pleasantly surprised how authentic the dim sum was.īraised Chicken Feet … we love it. The Baked Char Siu Bun were great … soft and fluffy with moist sweet BBQ pork in it. We like the courteous and prompt service.
It was very early on a weekday when we were there and there were only two tables taken. We hardly had such a huge dim sum place in Vancouver and yet the one we went to is so big. The interior was cavernous which surprised us. The awards (for best chinese, best dim sum, etc) were all plastered all over a wall near the entrance. The House of Hong had won a lot of awards over the years. As it turned out, it was a good thing we came here. So, we ended up going to this place called the House of Hong. Alright, I admit, we are stingy especially for things that is supposed to be free! Well, we could find pay parking but we did not want to pay for parking. As it turned out, we could not find parking. It was recommended by Jeniffer who also recommended Cedar’s to us. We had wanted to go to a place called the Jade Garden and Hongkong Restaurant. We had expected that the dim sums here would be Americanized … you know … serve things like chop suey, beef & broccoli, fortune cookies and such. It’s Day 5 and we decided that we go to Chinatown and check out the dim sum in an American city. This is our last post on our quick vacation to Seattle.
