RE: Miss. Delicious #63 : My dumplings are better than flowers!

in #food7 years ago

We tried to order Dumplings in a small restaurant in hongkong but they could not understand the word "Dumpling", with the helps of other customers we got what we want.

Sort:  

Not all Hong Kongers speak fluent English, especially if you are visiting a local "Cha chaan teng" 茶餐廳 (tea restaurant,) but these are the best places to taste local Cantonese food! Dumpling is "kau-tsee" in Cantonese.

That's so odd.. You could try say 'Jiaozi'. That's mandarin, not sure how to say it in Cantonese..

Usually people from Hong Kong are good with English.
