I once had a jellyfish dish with shredded chicken and boy was that some goodness.

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

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) Fri, 15 Apr 2005 08:25:37 GMT http://dimsum.tribe.net/thread/ce1542eb-3506-4cb6-898a-e28dc04a98b0#a335e4f8-2cad-4087-9397-251aa5f1a32d $item.owner.firstName 2005-04-15T08:25:37Z http://dimsum.tribe.net/thread/ce1542eb-3506-4cb6-898a-e28dc04a98b0#65e99bc0-4b87-4122-862e-51416f583b35 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.

After all "dim sum" is merely the food portion of the Cantonese "yum cha" dining tradition... and "yum cha" means "drink tea"!

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.
