Yiu chi (shark fin), Yin wo (bird's nest) or Bao yui(Abalone)

^How big is the abalone? Hmmm...60++ is too steep for a student's pockets...hehe. I should continue leeching from home. kekekeke

 

60's quite cheap rite? hmm i;m sure u aint gonna get those yat tao bao.. hehehe

 

shark fin is nothing without the added ingrediants so if you can only choose one by itself i pick bao yui

 

^smart fella! Go ahead and boycott sharks fin...save the sharks!! Hehehe...spreading the message again here.

 

but the soup nice.. ehhe boycott sharkfin but dont boycott soup...

^dai chap hai is good for those who know how to appreciate the roe. It's mainly the roe that is being sought after. Oh, and dai chap hai roe in siu long pao is wonderful!!!

hehehe must be i dont liek roe then ehhehei eat eat the roe.. like eee.. i like sashimi geoduck!! ehehe very nice hehehe

The old Chinese system of weights is very easily related to the British/US system

Both Katties and pounds are devided into 16 sub-units

!6 ounces to one pound
16 taels or Leungs to one Kattie or Cattie

One Pound is 12 taels or Leungs of the Chinese measurement.

So in relation to pounds, one Kattie or Leung is roughly 1 1/3 ounces.

 

most definitely shark fin. that stuff is so yummy....but expensive.

 

I would prefer the shark fin, because I enjoy soup more...and having the pleasure to add a hint of red vinegar...that's like totally YUM YUM!!

 

definitely abalone, it has it's own specific taste.
Shark fin basically doesn't have taste, it fully depends on the chicken based soup

 

sharks fin is great... always have it at traditional chinese weddings

 

i like all of them.. but would much prefer shark's fin and bird's nest.. coz i have not really tasted any abalone that is really nice.. coz they are just too expensive..

 

abalone!! how can you not love the sauce... and the way how it's all soft and it like.. melts...
oh my goodness... T_T

 

Shark Fin FTW. I always order a bowl of shark fin with dumpling whenever I go dim sum with my family.

 

i prefer sharkfin too
