Are they Korean-style dumplings, or real Chinese-style dumplings?
Also, I saw a dimsum place on the main drag in HyeHwa today (near exit 4). Anyone tried it out?
And, there is a good but pricey Chinese restaurant in MyeongDong, that makes authentic xiao long bao and what-not. It is roolly delish! |

Isn't dim sum the small dishes that you eat when drinking tea? So yes, steamed dumplings can be dim sum.
Anyone here speak Cantonese? |

Mandu is the Korean name for Jiaozi. Most Mandu is crap compared to real fried Jiaozi.
Dim Sum is the famous meal from Guangdong provine. You go to a restaurant in the morning. You have a pot of PuEr, Oolong or another kind of hot wonderful Chinese tea. Waiters and Waitresses push small carts around to the different tables. On these carts are small covered circular bamboo steam baskets with fragrant and delicious steamed dishes inside. You pick which dishes you wish. The waitress takes your dining card and stamps it with red ink for the chosen dish.
After you are finished with the meal, you take your dining card to the cash register for payment.
Xiao Lum Bao are small steamed buns of rice flour filled with spiced cooked meat. You can actually get a bland variation of these in Korea. I know what they look like - but do not know the Korean name. I get 5 for 2000 won on the street.
Besides steaming, the Chinese might fry cook these with an ancient huge cast iron skillet covering a fiery burn barrel on the street. Absolutely mouthwatering.

So we have to say 'small buns' instead of 'dumplings'. Okay, got it.
Why? |

Thank you. I've never been to China, nor have I indulged in what you would consider authentic Chinese cuisine. Now I know. |
