Reply to comment by Himekat in Best dim sum in Chinatown? by SDVNova

Thanks! I might try Great Taste. I’m looking for better tasting food lol I just wanted to bring my mom to try dim sum with the carts but it’s not a big deal. One thing I’m curious about is.. what do most people order when they eat dim sum in the morning?

What do you mean? All the dim sum items are available in the morning, and people eat everything based on what they like. In fact, it’s really more of a morning/brunch meal meant to be eaten with tea.

The carts are essentially disappearing. COVID worries aside, carts haven’t been fashionable or used at most places in Hong Kong in years, so that seems to be making its way over here slowly.

I thought people wouldn’t order more heavier or fried foods like beef chow fun or fried pork buns because it’s too early. Just something I always thought about. If that doesn’t matter then that’s good to know

People basically order whatever they feel like. You’ll see pretty much everything being ordered/eaten. Beef chow fun isn’t really a dim sum item, per se, but you could even order that at some restaurants (oftentimes, they’ll let you order off the lunch menu, too).

I pick these 2 as the best as well. My fave from Great Taste is their version of XO turnip cakes. They deep fry them until crispy instead of just pan frying them.
