How To Find The Best Dim Sum In Dallas TX

By Betty Lewis


You are currently on this article because you are having some kind of Chinese food craving, and you want to satisfy your pangs. Thus you want to find the best and authentic dim sum in Dallas TX for your current needs. To be able to do this, do read on in this article and get your much needed information.

When doing an internet search for those restaurants serving good dim sum according to your needs you have to be specific in your search. Do search for Cantonese restaurants, or those that serve Cantonese foods, because this kind of food is their forte. For your information there are a lot of different styles and types of Chinese cooking, being Zheijang, Szechuan, Hunan, Fujian, and Jiangsu.

Dim sum are the western equivalent of finger foods, but they are much more than that. In fact, they can be a meal unto themselves and are usually not served with rice or main dishes. They complement all the other dishes on the menu but they cannot be classified as appetizers either. The closest definition would be something akin to a heavy snack.

Do look for a restaurant that will boast that it has Hong Kong style dim sum. This is because Hong Kong residents and the city itself are proud to be the world record holder of having this kind of food, well according to CNN surveys anyway. They of course definitely should have some common items on the menu.

One of the staples you will look for on the menu will be siew mai, or siomai. These are wonton wraps with meat, vegetables or even seafood inside and steamed to high temperature until cooked. If well cooked, the wonton itself will basically just melt in your mouth, literally. It is best eaten with some shrimp or chili sauce and soy sauce with a bit of lemon dash if available.

Steamed dumplings or sio pao or siew pao, like the ones seen in Kung Fu Panda are dumplings usually enclosing some sort of meat filling are always a mainstay. Dumplings that have a vegetable filling are only half closed, very much like a sandwich and are called kwa pao. Both are delicious with their own respective accompanying sauces.

Definitely if these kind of foods are served on the menu then you will be getting close to the real deal. Just remember that usually these kind of foods are always served piping hot and tis will include others on the fare like chicken feet, spare ribs and har gow, another type of dumpling.

And of course the last verdict can be had by you looking at the kind of customer the place that you will patronize will be having. If the place has patrons that are of the Chinese persuasion or of descent, then you know you have come to the right place. For who better to judge Chinese food than the Chinese themselves.
