The custom of eating dim sum is a Cantonese custom but is available all over China. It is one of my favorite things to do in. In Hong Kong the dim sum restaurants open up at 5 AM. Most of them have lots of little carts filled with a few different dishes. As the cart goes by your table you can lift off the tops of the dishes to see what is inside. Most of the dishes are steamed dumpling type things in different shapes and forms with all kinds of mixtures inside from fish, and vegetables to pork, black bean paste or lotus or cilantro flavored vegetables or whatever their imagination happened to dream up. So are made with steamed bread dough some are made with rice flower. At restaurants like this when you ask for the bill they just count the plates. These dim sum restaurants even exist in New York and San Francisco.
Sometimes there are dim sum restaurants where there are no carts. You go to one end of the restaurant and see what they have. A waiter follows you as you point to what you want then that waiter takes the dishes to your table and puts a stamp on a little list that they add up at the end. I found that the price was different every time I got the bill although I may have eaten the same thing. I couldn’t figure it out. Finally I did figure it out. If I was considered a known customer they charged me 14 yuan. If the waiter didn’t recognize me I was charged 21!! Either way it was so good the price is well worth it.
