It's not even like jellyfish is really filling anyway. I once had a jellyfish dish with shredded chicken and boy was that some goodness.

Old news. People know about the health consequences but eat it anyway because they like it. Can't blame them either. Dim sum is yummy stuff.

Hey I love jellyfish, and can eat a whole table full. So HAH!

Now 2 dozen daan taat in one sitting, that might be a bit excessive...

amen to that! i do have a weakness for the daan taat from Golden Gate Bakery (in SF chinatown) though. the last time i went there, i bought 2 dozen!

What a stupid article. Bunch of food FUD. I don't know anyone who eats only jellyfish and beancurd skin at dim sum. And over-indulging in fried items seems to be more of a dim sum beginner's mistake, especially with squeamish white people. ("No congealed pork blood for you!") Personally, I tend to stick mostly to steamed or simmered items anyway. (tho' Heaven help me, I do love me some good daan taat every now and again, but even that's just one at the end of a meal)

There are plenty of healthy dim sum items.... that I can't remember the names of. Point is my intuition points to the items they usually serve at popular dim sum restaurants and not the actual dim sum dining itself.

$item.owner.firstName 2005-04-14T23:13:43Z Howard http://dimsum.tribe.net/thread/ce1542eb-3506-4cb6-898a-e28dc04a98b0#170faa6b-cc94-4368-83a2-2d12fcd3c849 2005-04-14T18:24:52Z 2005-04-14T18:24:52Z

as noted in the article. it talks about not all the dishes, just the ones that are most popular. dietary fiber and calcium are notably absent in dishes. yes, that is very true. but calcium, usually found in milk products have been generally ommited in chinese diets, because of lactose intolerance. dietary fiber can be had if one orders a plate of greens. the article further suggests more healthy dishes like steamed buns. i personally love dim sum because of the variety available. don't limit yourself to just a few dishes that all taste the same. get some variety in your meal. and i love bo lai tea (pu er in other words) with chrysanthenum flowers added. some ppl really like sul may tea also instead.

This is why you must be sure to drink copious amounts of bo lai tea with your meal, which quickly metabolizes the fat and grease! After all "dim sum" is merely the food portion of the Cantonese "yum cha" dining tradition... and "yum cha" means "drink tea"!

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=573&e=14&u=/nm/health_hongkong_dimsum_dc "Lovers of dim sum, beware. A study in Hong Kong has found the tiny, mouthwatering Chinese snacks are high in fat and sodium and excessive consumption will increase the risk of obesity. " Although, honestly, I've always known that it isn't the healthiest food. That's why I only eat it 2 or 3 times a week.
