Dim Sum Dilemma?
So I finally went to that amazing-looking restaurant, you know, the one with the jade ornaments everywhere... The dim sum was incredible, seriously some of the best I've ever had. But the menu was..… more
Learn Cantonese, at least the basics. Seriously. Pictures help, but a lot of dim sum menus rely on Cantonese descriptions. Even pointing and hoping isn't foolproof.

Yeah, good points! Cantonese lessons are definitely on my to-do list now... who knew dim sum was so linguistically challenging?! I hadn't thought about the translation apps, that's a lifesaver. Milk's a great idea too, haha, learned that the hard way once. Thanks for the tips!

The area's more residential than a bustling food scene, unfortunately.
