Why limit yourself to the English menu when ordering dim sum? Cantonese teacher Liza Chu has a part-time career as a Hong Kong dim sum guide, and she has distilled her knowledge of Chinese cuisine and dining etiquette into a practical guidebook to eating out. Each photographed dish is identified with Chinese characters and pronunciation, and icons alert those with special diets.
This month’s prize is a copy of Liza’s new Dim Sum: a survival guide — your ticket into a world of adventurous and delicious dim sum.
All you need to do is answer this simple question: What drink is most closely associated with dim sum?
Send your answers to me at pete(at)blacksmithbooks(dot)com, and three winners will each receive a book. Asian mailing addresses only. Dai ga sik fan!
It isn’t cider is it…?
I can’t tell!
Wow, I was so excited about the possibility of winning the book that I missed the part about Asian mailing addresses only before I fired off my e-mail. (I get excited at the possibility of obtaining free books!)
If you’re a winner, you can nominate a friend in HK! ;)
I bet you its Vodka Cranberry! Dim Sum here we come!
Vodka in the morning? I wish I was a chef!
Thanks for all the entries — it’s the most popular giveaway we’ve had. So we’re giving away an extra three copies!
I think it’s Jasmine tea, or jus any tea to go along…
