“Chinese Brunch”, “the Asian Tapas”! True, but we need to go further. Dim Sum is a part of the Yum-cha – drink tea, an important tradition in Cantonese-speaking regions such as Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macau. The cuisine refers to small portions of steamed, fried, baked, savory, sweet (you name it!) dishes served with an endless amount of scented tea. In Chinese, Dim Sum means “touching the heart”, which promises a delightful tasting experience.

The technique of cuon – hand-rolling various ingredients in rice paper has been common in Vietnamese cuisine. The idea is similar to Japanese sushi or Mexican burritos that combine many ingredients in one single wrap, but the cuon – rolls are of smaller size and usually eaten as appetizer or light snacks.
The summer rolls are served with chilli-hoisin sauce mixed with fried onion. Customers can dip the rolls directly in the sauce or use the provided small spoon to put a little bit of the sauce on top of the rolls

Gua bao (traditional Chinese: 割包; simplified Chinese: 刈包; pinyin: guàbāo; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: koah-pau; literally: ‘cut bread’), also known as pork belly buns, ambiguously, bao, or erroneously as the bao bun (“bao” means “bun” so the translated name “bun bun” is redundant and “bao” in the Chinese language without any qualifiers is generally used to refer to baozi) is a type of lotus leaf bun (he ye bao) from Fuzhou, the capital of Fujian province, with similar variants found elsewhere with sizeable Fuzhounese communities. It is a popular street food in Taiwan which has led to the popular misconception that the gua bao is Taiwanese in origin.

The story of Banh Mi dates to the French colonization in Northern Vietnam during the 1900s. The term “Banh Mi” at first implied only the French baguette, however, nowadays it’s also understood as a sandwich – the French baguette stuffed with various condiments such as meat/tofu, sauces and pickles and vegetables.

When it comes to Vietnamese cuisine, everyone says Pho! The hype about Pho has been going strong in the Viet community for the past 100 years, and never ceases to spread to the other parts of the hemisphere. Why do the Vietnamese love Pho so much? There may not be a solid answer for that, but one thing for sure, every Viet grows up eating Pho and the tradition has been passed through generations. There is no such thing like Pho – a favorited food, comfort food, street food, and soul food that reflects the way of life in Vietnam

Like almost all the kids, I was not a big fan of salad during my childhood. But my mom always finds solutions to things. She creates and combines the sweet and sour vegetables, then adds some pink boiled shrimp or chicken, and makes the dish more colorful and flavorful to attract kids’ attention and their eagerness to enjoy. Here are 2 styles that my mon has done for us at home and hope you like it.

Bubble tea has been driving Asians crazy for the past 20 years and the trend never ceases to stop. Believe it or not, bubble tea is the Asian coffee.

Just like in Finland, the coffee culture is serious in Vietnam – where has the world’s second-largest coffee export market. Cà phê (Vietnamese translation for coffee) has become a daily habit of more than 5 million people in Saigon. Why not coming to a Vietnamese café in Helsinki downtown and try a cup of hot Vietnamese coffee? I’m sure the uniqueness of this caffeinated drink will blow your mind (literally)!
