It’s Trevor James

I am in Guangzhou China

At a very famous dim sum restaurant

It’s full of local people

All chowin’ down

On some of the most amazing looking dim sum

So we’re going to order up

And try it out

Dim sum

This is big

Dim sum is so good

That you will find it’s influence all over the world

But I had to come here to the source in Guangzhou

I came to eat as many as possible

These are 11 Classic dim sum dishes that you need to try

This is a dim sum feast

Let’s start off with number 11

This is lotus leaf rice

Filled with egg yolk

Dried scallop

Mushroom

Chestnut

And chicken

I’m going to try that out

Wow

You can taste the earthiness and the leafiness

Of that lotus

Steamed throughout the rice

There is all this egg yolk

And chicken

And that sticky rice was so gooey

And a little sweet

Coming up for number ten

You knew it was going to be chicken feet

Right here

These are fengzhua

These are chicken feet

That are deep fried

Boiled

And then marinated in a black bean sauce

And then steamed

There’s not much meat on it

It’s kind of just like eating cartilage

And small bones

With a little bit of sweet meat on the outside

Number nine is a standard Chinese radish cake

Made with shredded turnip and rice flour

That is always ordered by the locals

Yeah

It tastes like Chinese carrot

Pretty much, it’s a little sweet

And now for some beef balls stuffed with cilantro and water chestnut

And then I have beef balls here

Dripping beef balls

Amazing

Number 7 is a beef stew

Packed with radish

And chee cheong fen rice noodle rolls

That will blow your mind

It’s like rice noodle rolls

In a thick beef stew gravy

Wow

It’s exactly like a beef stew with rice noodle rolls

It fills you with glee

And now we’re moving up

Number 6 is pepper beef short ribs

Wow

It tastes like pepper steak

Exactly like pepper steak

It’s really peppery

Number 5 is a classic southern Chinese egg tart

It’s like a flaky outer crust

With a middle filled with an egg custard

Oh yeah

That is really delicate

That is fine

It’s a super sweet egg custard

I feel like I’m eating artwork or something

Number 4 is the plump Chaozhou dumplings

Usually stuffed with peanuts

Garlic chives

Ground pork

Dried shrimp

Dried radish and shiitake mushrooms

Wrapped with a tapioca starch wrapper

Oh it’s sticky, it’s sticky!

It tastes like a mixture between celery

Peanuts, and sesame

Wow

This next one is a hit

Char siu bao

Barbeque Pork Bun Baozi

That’s my definition of heaven right there

It’s like a sweet barbeque pork

You can almost taste a little honey in there

And it’s gooey

And full of flavour

With a soft baozi bun

That’s amazing

Number two is the world famous Siu mai

AKA overflowing shrimp and pork dumplings

Wrapped with a lye water dough

And garnished with crab roe

So juicy

Wow, look at this

This is Siu Mai

It’s like springy shrimp with a fatty pork

Wrapped around a dumpling

Full of juice

That is just mind blowing

We’re finally here at number one

You must eat these dim sum

These are the har gao shrimp fatty pork dumplings

That are similar to the shao mai

Except wrapped with a silky smooth wheat and tapioca wrapper

That melts in your mouth
