Chinese Dim Sum, Wrapped Dried Fish and Chinese Sausages. Food on The Streets, Hong Kong

Dim sum baskets are a very common sight in the roads of Hong Kong. They tower on tables and tables as a promise of what good can be had inside the restaurant. Dim sum  is a style of Chinese cuisine. It is prepared as small bite-sized portions of food served in small steamer baskets or on a small plate.


Here is the playlist with videos of Dim Sum food in the channel: Chinese Dim Sum Street Food

Dried seafood is widely used in Chinese cooking. In Hong Kong this commerce is centred around a section of Des Voeux Road West in Sheung Wan, known as Dried Seafood Street.

This airport is always crowded, noisy and dirty.
