Yum Cha vs. Dim Sum
"Yum Cha" is not equal to "Dim Sum". In Cantonese, "Dim Sum" is a noun only, while "Yum Cha" is a verb. "Yum Cha" means to eat Dim Sum with friends or family members together, and it's a sort of family or social activity. --Eternal 11:25, 24 Sep 2003 (UTC)
Picture
hey hey, do anyone know how to put a picture of dim sum on the page as i think it is a very nice idea to let people to understand more on the dim sum.
- Yep, read the help on images.
thx! anyway. hey hey, do the hau gua ( the Shramp Dumpling) made of meat? I have never heard of that. If so, it will be not suitable for the vegetarians then!
- The image currently used has no information on its source, it looks to me like a copyvio, Can we find something to replace it, or does someone want to frame a fair use argument. — Zeimusu | Talk 06:15, 2005 Jan 31 (UTC)
Brilliant prose
I've nominated this article for brilliant prose. Scooter 08:18, 31 Dec 2003 (UTC)
- Copy objection therefrom: Objection: It appears to have northern-China POV, with myths such as connections to the Silk Road -- unless references are produced, I am not convinced. My guess is that many Chinese far from Guangdong would not know what dim sum is. Statements such as 'Almost all Chinese know what dim sum is' should be made VERY CAREFULLY, after substantial surveying about 900 million people! Many items listed also did not give Cantonese (which would be very useful when the dim sum lady with cart comes by.) Sorry to be a killjoy. --Kaihsu Tai 12:24, 2004 Jan 2 (UTC)
- Point taken. It would appear the solution would be either to restrict its reference to the northern part of China, or add information on dim sum-like dishes in the south of China and other areas in Asia. Not haveing any reference at all, and less knowledge, I'd recommend the former. Anyone want to tackle this? Scooter 05:13, 3 Jan 2004 (UTC)
