I've lived here for over 10 years and have been scared off because I can't take much MSG.<br /><br />Thanks for any advice!<br />Canadian-Cantonese who misses good food!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8659859995099007525.post-50103888908370030852011-02-22T19:16:23.953+00:002011-02-22T19:16:23.953+00:00kake - it's definitely the accoutrements that ...kake - it's definitely the accoutrements that make this dish!<br /><br />GChick - I've never seen dim sim in Blighty. I think the closest thing in spirit to it in Britain is the Chinese take-away classic, pancake roll. Think of a super-sized spring roll that will inevitably burn your mouth on first bite.<br /><br />BTW, you must do a feature on dim sim when you're next in Oz.Mr Noodleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13327242172810414292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8659859995099007525.post-87671328060996569082011-02-22T10:26:45.125+00:002011-02-22T10:26:45.125+00:00Now you have made me home sick for dim sim - I don...Now you have made me home sick for dim sim - I don't think you can get them in London though?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15550630880349913974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8659859995099007525.post-75111873170680366352011-02-21T20:06:55.355+00:002011-02-21T20:06:55.355+00:00I'm a fan of crispy duck and its accoutrements...I'm a fan of crispy duck and its accoutrements!

I guess whoever invented it, didn't want to draw attention to the fact that it wasn't strictly authentic. E of S's version is OK but I wouldn't go out of my way to order it.<br /><br />Gworm - you've got to check out the other ducks! The Cantonese roast duck is everywhere in Chinatown; they're the ones that you see hanging in the windows. I'm not sure if the Sichuan original is available in London, as <i>xiang su ya</i> 香酥鴨 is taken to mean the British crispy aromatic duck.<br /><br />A-in-L - I think I'll leave it to my London-based Aussie peers to post about dim sims. Suffice to say, the first time I saw them in Australia, I thought they were a spelling mistake. I then had a WTF moment when I saw what they looked like! That said, they're good in bad way - if you know what I mean.Mr Noodleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13327242172810414292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8659859995099007525.post-9094082567407378702011-02-21T14:14:40.823+00:002011-02-21T14:14:40.823+00:00I just clicked through your dim sims link and was ...I just clicked through your dim sims link and was fascinated.

I have to confess to a love of the stretchy pancakes, shreds of salty-sweet duck and the hoi sin. It conjures up the Chinese meals of my Cornish youth and all the magic tastes and textures they introduced me to. <br /><br />But i don;t think i have ever tasted any of the Cantonese or Sichuan originals - one to try out soon methinks.The Grubwormhttp://www.thegrubworm.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8659859995099007525.post-59128471174402639222011-02-20T23:56:03.782+00:002011-02-20T23:56:03.782+00:00Ah, didn't know that the crispy aromatic duck ...Ah, didn't know that the crispy aromatic duck has British roots. When made well, it is still delicious. Will have to try Empress of Sichuan's version.
