2intrigued: I've been told they are yummy and it was quite evident that they were when I used to go for dim sum with co-workers but I just couldn't do it. Fish heads....kak for me thanks. Har gow, siu mai, is more like it for me.


Har gow, siu mai are the staples. I especially love har gow! smitten

The Dim Sums in Malaysia varied slightly than the ones you get in Canada, which originally were from Hong Kong. I love them both.

Ok, I'm getting hungry now after all these food talking! Lunch time for me now and bedtime for you, Trigs and PG! Byeeeeeeeeee! hug wave

The use of that word here is rather tame but it's interesting how these words have a different impact on others living elsewhere. laugh

Dreamcatcher99: Hi Lais

I find reading helps. Having said that, there are still so much to learn and it is not easy for a non-native speaker like you and I


It is true! we get there!
