:I agree that if one were to be asked what dish he would think of which is "representative" of HK, Dim sum would very likely be the answer (and not "bbq pork with rice" which we simply call "char siew rice"). However, speaking from the pespective of an overseas Chinese who has more or less sampled Chinese food from the greater China region, I find it difficult to disassociate Dim Sum from Cantonese cuisine, and associate it more with HK. BTW, notice we still dont have an entry for China itself, probably because it is so hard to pinpoint one out of so many different Dcuisines within one country. If we are going to have Dim Sum representing HK, can we have Peking Duck representing Beijing? How shall we handle the whole issue of national foods in the Greater China region? Lets try to reflect and resolve on this issues, shall we? 30 June 2005 08:23 (UTC)
