Dim Sum can be an overwhelming dining experience to say the least. Carts fly by you with a myriad of Chinese specialties you can't identify. What's in those dumplings? How about those buns? And what exactly is that? Citysearch Boston's Christine Liu and Shi Lin (aka "Gitlo") of Gitlo's Dim Sum Bakery are here to help Demystify Dim Sum for you by walking you through some of the best choices. Gitlo will also show you how to make a couple of Chinese classics: House Special Rice in Lotus Leaf and everyone's favorite beverage with tapioca pearls, Bubble Tea. |
