In this Episode, we're diving into the delicious world of 點心 (dim2 sam1) – Hong Kong’s iconic dim sum culture. You'll learn how locals order dim sum at a traditional 酒樓 (zau2 lau4 – Chinese restaurant), what time dim sum is usually served, and five super useful Cantonese phrases to use next time you yum cha!

I’ll also share my personal favorites — 叉燒包 (caa1 siu1 baau1 – BBQ pork bun) and 馬拉糕 (maa5 laa1 gou1 – steamed sponge cake). Plus, we’ll practice a classy native phrase: 一籠點心 (jat1 lung4 dim2 sam1) – a basket of dim sum!
