    Hello my loves! Hope you loved this video as much as I loved putting this together (and eating everything in it)! What other dim sum/Chinese food etiquettes have I missed? Any other videos you'd like to see on the channel? ☺

    So many of these Dos and Don'ts are so ingrained in me that I'm not even conscious of them. It's good to hear these so I can teach my own kids.

    I'm a bit confused at the eat one dim sum at a time.... I've always like taken one of each for my plate. I will wait until everyone has had at least getting 1 bite of each item before going in for seconds.

    Different people have different rules but generally speaking, you’d eat it one at a time than to fill your whole bowl with one of each!
