Yum Cha

First time we had a gathering after exam, we went to city for 'yum cha'. This term was quite funny for Asians people because.... it's just so weird in western countries, where if they want to have 'dim sum' and teas in Chinese restaurant, they will say 'yum cha'.

We came to a restaurant called 'Sharkfin', in terms of mandarin would be ‘食为先’. It's really sound so different between the English and mandarin version. I heard my friend told me that we need to make reservation, because everyday there will be a lot people 'yum cha' in the restaurant. We sort of quite excited in there (no idea what's the reason, we just feel excited). We ordered a lot of varieties of dim sum (well, suppose all those dim sum was well known, like 'har gao', 'siew mai'......). The food was quite nice, well if compare to the Chinese food standard here (We wouldn't expect much excellent and tasty Chinese cuisine here).
