Early in the morning at the Hutong Jiekou shop, I bought a large, deep-fried dough stick just out of the pan, and served a cup of sweet and soy milk, which is the breakfast of Beijingers. Boil a piece of spring onion pancakes, fry a pan of uncooked pancakes, and a bowl of light porridge, a comfortable breakfast for Shanghainese people. And when you wake up naturally, bring your old and young, or meet a few old friends, and slowly walk to a morning tea shop to sigh tea, this is the beginning of many Cantonese.

The long morning tea culture has passed on thousands of dim sum. General snacks can be divided into two categories: wet and dry. Dried points include fruit powder, buns, dumplings, pastries, etc., in pursuit of a fine, very good sales. Shrimp dumplings are a sign of dryness. The thin, tough, and transparent skin was like a cellophane wrapped in shrimp stuffing, and a little reddish was seen in the crystal, and the full and firm shrimp stuffing came out. Wet spots refer to various congee spots and salamanders. The beautifully colored phoenix claws and ribs are displayed in a small bamboo cage. The white silk-like steam exudes a seductive aroma, which makes one can't help putting it in his mouth. Coupled with soft and smooth porridge, a touch of greasy after gluttony will be swept away. And in Vancouver, a place full of morning tea restaurants, eating a table of high-quality snacks is even more comfortable. Let's explore the morning tea in the next city along with the team.

Tips: It is inevitable to have long queues for morning tea, so make an appointment in advance or leave early.

Kirin Seafood Restaurant

Speaking of morning tea, Kirin is a well-established old brand in Vancouver, and it is also one of the best high-end Cantonese dishes in Vancouver, which cares about the quality of the dishes. In the XNUMXs, there was the first unicorn in downtown vancouver, and now there are four stores in Vancouver. Its barbecued pork buns are definitely the conscience of the industry. Although the Kirin restaurant in Downtown is a Sichuan restaurant, it still offers morning tea. Friends who like to take noodles and want morning tea can try it. Kirin is welcomed by the majority of diners. It will be full and not drop in, so it is recommended to make an appointment in advance. And I like to eat durian. Note that the Kirin family has durian glutinous rice dumplings with strong flavor and excellent taste, but it is not on the dim sum menu. It is a secret that only regular customers know.

Special Tip: Be sure to reserve a place in advance

Recommendations: Shrimp Dumpling, Durian Glutinous Rice Noodles (Book in advance), BBQ Pork Buns, Chicken with Glutinous Rice, Chaozhou Steamed Rice Noodles, Taro Cake, Chenpi Red Bean Paste, Steamed Beef Tendon

[Chef Tony Seafood Restaurant]

The interior decoration of Yidong is very elegant, and there are group photos of some bosses and celebrities in the store, which is very suitable for banquets. Although the store opened in Vancouver in early 2014, the owner is the head of the “harbour” that has been very hot before. Now I just changed the sign and continue to open the store here. In the short period of more than one year, Yidong has won numerous praises and has won awards on various food review websites. Recently named the best Dim Sum store of 2015 by Vancouver Magazine. Looking at its exquisite snacks, friends are not as good as moving.

[Sea Harbour Seafood Restaurant]

A team with a profound food culture in Zhongshan, Guangdong, founded the Harbour Restaurant on the third road of Richomod in 1999. It is famous in Vancouver for its first chicken and raw pigeons. In 2001, Mr. Yang Guanyi, the abalone king, was invited to host the abalone feast in "A Yi Jinhuiyao Harbour" in Vancouver. The relocated harbour is now located next to Bridgeport Skytrain Station. Convenient transportation and an elegant dining environment are also popular. Less sugar, less oil, less salt, fresh ingredients, just the right time, because the harbour home's morning tea will be steamed in advance, do not want to miss the best delicious food, remember to leave early.

[Sun Sui Wah Seafood Restaurant]

As soon as I entered Xinruihua, I saw a magnificent sailing ship hung high from the ceiling, and along the marble spiral stairs on both sides, came to the entrance of the hall. Compared with the elegant exterior decoration, the interior decoration of the lobby is more general, but this does not affect its reputation for the best Chinese cuisine. Xinruihua's seafood (Emperor Crab) is one of the best in Vancouver. Dimsum has won a lot of food awards, and its braised young pigeon has won the Mingbao recommendation award. Xiaobian usually goes as soon as the door is opened, but people rush in after eating and eating, and the entire hall is full at once, and the slightly eaten passenger door can only wait at the door.

【Red Star Seafood Restaurant】

Hongxing Seafood Restaurant's roast meat is a must in Vancouver, and the duck skin has also won awards. This high standard restaurant guarantees the natural quality of morning tea. Hongxing provided diners with hundreds of classic Cantonese dim sum and delicious food, and won the second place of "Best Cantonese Dim Sum Restaurant". Coupled with the elegant and comfortable environment, it is a great place to sigh tea. Although the price is not very close to the people, the restaurant will also launch some promotions. A while ago, a group purchase promotion for a morning tea gold medal for four was just concluded. So eaters can pay more attention and strive to sweep down the high-quality food at a favorable price.

[New Starlet Restaurant]

Rising Star, near the name of Metrotown, is a new morning tea shop. Although there are only forty choices of dim sum, the price is a little bit expensive, but the names of the dishes are quite interesting, and the characteristics of other cuisines are mixed. The taste is more innovative and worth trying.

Recommendation: Sichuan miso dish wonton, thin bran, glutinous rice dumplings with fragrant durian.

Sichuan miso dish wonton has added a few flavors to the taste of this dish because of its unique and dense formula-pomelo peel.

Yaozhu leek is thin and salty. The crust is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.

Hometown is sweet and thin, with peanut powder in it, sweet and crispy, very delicious.
