Today I made a new culinary experience and is of course the world
Carol, Sandra and I had this morning with Weekain, Carol's colleagues from the restaurant, and his sister Melody at Yum Cha ( en.wikipedia.org / wiki / Yum_Cha ), a traditional Chinese brunch - before it was actually a kind of extended breakfast, but now it makes most people predominantly seem to Saturday or Sunday lunch.
In short: you are sitting around the table, drink lots of tea and the restaurant very many waiters scurry around with trays are small portions of different dishes on top of. The waiter stopped at each table and ask if someone wants to have it (a bit like running sushi, only human). Yum Cha
literalness is really just drinking the tea / between meals, the actual food is called Dim Sum ( en.wikipedia.org / wiki / Dim_sum ), But as we get invited to Weekain Yum Cha, I'm assuming that for everyday purposes Yum Cha covers both.
I found the whole thing just great and it was a huge advantage that we had this Weekain and Melody. First, we would have tourism / Westerners probably never suspected that there is something or where it is found. (Was outside of the restaurant totally unspectacular -.! Ugly neon sign and a not very inviting staircase that led up but since it has received a determination 30 big tables, all fully occupied ((of course predominantly Asians in the clan)) and on the transition have been waiting for the people that a table free for the 2nd session. A bustle is!)
And the other have Weekain and Melody explains us all and selected the best dishes ("You have to try this, you do not have to try that one, it's not so nice") and told what to have, which is particularly famous or popular and why. Weekain especially all of us constantly looked after, seen that everyone always has enough tea and dips, and also so that everyone feels comfortable. Overall, it was
almost all stuff I've never eaten before, and all the crazy delicious. The tea alone has already impressed me - have to advise Weekains not like most Westerner ordered jasmine tea, but "Red Tea or Po lei - hard to describe, but very good and apparently really good for digestion.
The majority was fried, but still tastes great. What was not fried, steamed and served, in these traditional, round wooden containers - very stylish. We have tried very much different - at the Wikipedia entry for dim sum Gibts ne list - and it was really all that I can by no means try everything, but much of it was offered to us at least once and Weekain has waved it either more or we were too full to have something to eat (we have not tried this time Chicken feet, but that was really more because it came so late only from the kitchen, otherwise I would probably still just too curious to ignore) . But
found a few things I been particularly good, such as the Lotus Leaf Rice (sticky rice in lotus leaf damped), crispy fried squid, Egg Tart and especially Sweet tofu. That was a sweet dessert, a saddle moose with silky tofu mucus and a sweet, but fresh sauce - hard to describe, now sounds rather suspicious, looked even from very unusual and has once strange unfamiliar angefuehlt in the mouth, but it was really great .
Overall, today was a very good experience - you have faith in something a lot of fun. Weekain am very grateful that he has brought us sat there - and of course I am also grateful to Carol, by which we have Weekain first met. * G *
Get the rest of the day now, very quietly Round off (last night was a bit short), more than likely going to sit somewhere and read. This weekend I had the infinite happiness of a long weekend. Mel, my manager at Star Mart, has asked me a few weeks ago, if it's make me what would, from September, from Monday to Friday to work from Wednesday until Sunday - which I could not care relative, that is okay. Now the first of September just Catch a Monday - so I have four whole days off! Pure luxury!
