A killer Dim-Sum
EN
Something that I and the families
from Hong Kong that came here to
So after our train lunch
here and after a long cold walk through the city
Did you know that my Hong
Kong family find the food better than the ones in most
Time is precious in

Mijn familie uit
Na onze eerdere besproken
trein lunch hier en na een lange koude wandeling door Rotterdam, nam ik mijn
familie mee voor een lekker warme yam cha diner bij Oriental Express. Ik ben
hier al eerder geweest en was tevreden over het eten en service en dat is
goed genoeg voor een 2e keer een hapje bij Oriental Express.
De meest verrassende
wending: mijn Hong Kongse familie vond het eten beter dan de meeste in Hong
Kong! De reden is: het eten in Oriental Express is authentieker, gedefinieerde
en minder MSG smaak. In Hong Kong is het namelijk zo dat in de meeste
gevallen het eten snel op tafel geserveerd moet worden maar ook lekker! MSG
is hierbij onmisbaar en dit betekent: kwantiteit over kwaliteit.

The bubble tea was a bit on the sweet side and the tapioca's poorly cooked.
(Thanks for liking my café latte!)
Jammer dat de boba wat minder was, maar de rest ziet er in ieder geval heerlijk uit! Vooral de ultra dunne ui pannekoek :)
ReplyDeleteMy family is like that as well. We could be in the most exotic of locales and what they'll really miss is Chinese food. For some reason, that gene skipped me but I do get a hankering for TexMex any time I'm away from Texas for a bit
ReplyDeleteOooh yum! I haven't had yum cha in what seems like forever haha :)
ReplyDeleteI think restaurants put a lot of MSG in foods here too, although I'm not certain. It's a shame! I try not to go to restaurants too much and make most of what I eat. It's so nice that you had family visit you!
ReplyDeleteYummy food variety!

YUMMY! I love my dim sum as you saw in my 10 things food posts! I swear that all asians of chinese descent cannot get away from our food roots. I would love to travel to hong kong or taiwan and eat myself silly! I just got back from bangkok with my mom and we did just that! :p
ReplyDeleteWow I can't believe they would like the European one over HK :O I don't think they can say the same about Australia's yumcha :P
ReplyDeleteThe food is looking so delicious !

There are heaps of yum cha places around here but I haven't been in ages! My favourite is those prawn dumpling things.
ReplyDeleteit looks so delicious!
ReplyDeleteAhh, we actually went to eat (unlimited!) dim sum last weekend, I'm craving it already... so bad since I always eat too much (no one can stop me once I begin eating :p) but SO GOOD. Yum!!
ReplyDeleteYum! I miss yum cha and haven't had it for awhile now since I came back to school~ I enjoy having dim sum with my family and or with friends! :) I can definitely understand all the MSG and stuff in HK- they have such a busy, fast-forward oriented life; I do hope that I'll have the chance to go there to have a taste of the food though! ;) All the best!

mmm dim sum!
ReplyDeleteLooks tasty! The deep fried bread wrapped in the thick noodles (sorry, I have no idea what they're called haha!) have always been a favorite of mine. Shame to hear the bubble tea wasn't to your liking though, I prefer mine to be less sweet as well!

Looks good!
ReplyDeleteWhat exactly is MSG? I think I saw something like that in a MV once, don't know the artist, but the song was "open door/open the door" or something like that :p Reminded me a bit of PSY actually.
It's been a while since I've had dim sum, but looking at your pictures is making me crave it! I might need to go to our local dim sum place this weekend! :)
ReplyDeleteHow interesting is to learn about the MSG added to food, and that your family found the taste more pure to the ingredients! Love the dim sum with little plates to share :)
