How do you order dim sum?

[Anonymous]

Dim sum is a hassle even if you know how to order. Wanting another something and waiting for-ever for the cart to come around again, etc.

Har gow is my favorite! I do not stay away from the shrimp stuff, don't care where it is farmed, love the taste. Why should I stay away from shrimp stuff?

Never been a hassle for me. Where are you OP? There is a great Chinese restaurant in Silver Spring Gourmet Inspirations. Everything is served fast.

Far East in Rockville is my favorite place.

Why? Just don't like shrimp, or other reasons?

Dim sum is usually pretty cheap. They save money by buying cheap ingredients. Cheap farm raised shrimp usually mean foreign farmed shimp. There are a host of problems with farmed raised fish- destructions of mangroves, child labor, etc. I have seen a lot of these farms and they are pretty gross.

These shrimp farms are not regulated. The shrimp are heavily concentrated. This causes diseases with the shrimp and the farmers use high levels of pesticides, antibiotics and other chemicals (lot are banned in the United States). Residues of these toxins end up in the flesh of the shrimp. This can trigger allergic reactions and make you sick. I saw a study that showed a lot of people who think they were allergic to shrimp actually had reactions to the other products in the shrimp.

They can only operate the farms in an area for a few years because the area becomes toxic. Nothing grows or lives in these area for many years. So I do not want to get sick.

Only on DCUM can someone be sanctimonious about Dim Sum.

Not the previous poster, but they aren’t wrong. I try to stay away from shrimp where I can’t identify the country of origin (usually means that it’s not from here, and far more likely to be an environmental menace or contaminated in some way).

Man, we need to get a scientist on this stat. A peer reviewed journal article on why all these "toxins" only ever cause reactions in upper middle class white people and not in the billions around the world who eat farmed shrimp would be groundbreaking!

My theory is that it's caused by radiation from sources present in high end consumer electronics. That would explain all the upper middle class white people who had the exact same mysterious "reaction" to MSG that nobody else did right around the time hi-fi's and Walkmen were being imported by the ton.

You are an idiot but keep posting. Just a quick google search and you will be able to many peer reviewed studies on the subject. talk about being a sanctimonious sh*thead. Look inthe mirror.

But why are you targeting dim sum and shrimp farming? It's leaning towards racism. Why aren't you piping up when they talk about Mediterranean food, steak houses, etc. Most places use the same farm raised fish and shrimp.

NP Yeah that's a Tony Cheng's problem, not a general dim sum problem. If you want to try a place in the city I suggest Da Hong Pao.
