Long noodles with shrimp is probably one of the most beloved dim sum dishes. Silky smooth rice noodles, succulent shrimp, doused in light soy sauce.
Shu mai is another well known dough wrapped dish, this time with pork and shrimp.
We also ate some non-dough related dishes, like this fried fish ball. It was full of stinky fish sauce loveliness. Which I'm a huge fan of. More fish flavor, condensed.
It was my first time eating fried silver fish, but it won't be the last. Soft flaky fish fried to a light crispiness. Oh yes....
I've had plenty of fried tofu before, but this was very different. It was lightly breaded which gave it another savory flavor dimension. Definitely on my to eat again list.
One can never eat too many fish balls in Hong Kong. So we must have it in another form, this time, stewed in a slightly sour cabbage soup.
More dough wrapped meat! I didn't eat this since I was getting full, but now I regret not trying this char shiu bao. I can almost imagine the fluffy steamed bun with the sweet bbq pork. Sad...
There was also another fried tofu, this time topped with scallions. It was tasty but I preferred the fat pillowy ones above. The lightening quick chopstick action you see there was getting some lotus leaf wrapped sticky rice chicken. One of my favorite dim sum eats. Probably cuz I'm a slave to any sticky rice dish.
Another dim sum first was a jello dessert made with chrysanthemum and goji berries. It was fragrant and tasty. Nice light finish to the meal.
Oh wait, I lied, I had another dessert, in the form of mango pudding soup with tapioca. Maybe not a light finish to the meal, but definitely a very nice one.

I adore the rice-wrapped shrimp thing, and my family all hate it, so I get it all, bwa ha ha! I even found a halfway decent frozen brand at the store, so I can get a cheap fix once in a while between dim sum trips.
@Serene I didn't know that there are frozen rice wrapped shrimp thing!? I have to go look for it now!
