I was Mistaken as a Waitress
Ingredients, Eastern Mangroves Hotel, Abu Dhabi , UAE
Restaurant Review
Last week I was able to enjoy a lovely lunch at the Eastern Mangroves Hotel Restaurant, named Ingredients. We were a large group of over 40 ladies, since it was a weekday lunch, there were little to no other parties in the restaurant. The staff was kind enough to guide us from our conference room to the Ingredients Restaurant. Once we arrived, I felt like I had to seat myself and no direction was really given on which tables were reserved for our party.
Dim Sum for Beginners | Dai Pai Dong
Since we moved to Abu Dhabi, I have been missing authentic Cantonese cuisine. Most of all, dim-sum time, mainly for the desserts! If you are not familiar with dim-sum, it is usually only offered during breakfast and lunch time and features small bites of steamed foods like dumplings, noodles, meats and buns. It is served family-style in steamer baskets and enjoyed best with of course, tea. Read on to learn about Dim Sum for beginners.
A Guide to Dim-Sum (also known as Yum-Cha)
Dim Sum – translates to literal meaning of ‘Small Point’ but it really means Touch the Heart. “Yum-Cha” meaning Drink Tea. Tea is paired with dim sum dishes to aid with digestion and enhance relaxation.
Once they begin seating you in a dim-sum restaurant, they will ask you what type of tea you would like.
Here are the most well-known types of Teas you could pair with your dimsum:
(1) “Bo-Lay” – Pu Erh Black Tea
(2) “Gook-Fa” – Chrysanthemum Tea
(3) “Wu-Long” – OOlong Tea
