Join us as we eat dim sum at Honolulu Chinatown! My friend, Camille, and I go Sing Cheong Yuan, a Chinese bakery located at 1027 Maunakea St, Honolulu (on the island of Oahu, Hawaii). They offer take out items, and they're well known for their mooncakes, manapaus (cha siu baos), and more. We bought a lot items and eat them at a park. Enjoy!

Half moon dumpling shown is what my Canto/Toisanese/SzeYip fam calls a fun-gor or steamed giaoji. Definite home dumpling we would make. Grew up using tortilla press to make the dough into round wrappers, and pass to my aunts, poh and mom to fill/crimp.

My favorite Chinese bakery in Chinatown! But you should have gotten the macadamia nut chews along with the peanut ones for your mom. With that macadamia nut version, you'll really be telling your mom that you love her. Been to the Golden Gate Bakery many, many times. But sorry, I think Sing Cheong Yuan is better. But the gai mei bao at GGB is a winner! Mahalo for this video. Hopefully I'll be home to visit my mom before the end of the year and go to Honolulu's Chinatown.

Thanks for watching this video, Marvin! I got the macadamia candies for my parents, too! They like them more than the peanut ones. Hope you enjoy your next trip to Oahu to see your mom.

Dim sum is sit down and order from cart or menu. Manapua, Hawaiian version of dim sum, is order takeout go home and eat. Some items are adapted to Hawaii.

I live in Calgary, Canada. Hong Hong/Cantonese. My mother used to make those leaf-wrapped things which we call sticky rice from scratch. More filling and variety. I used to dip pieces in sugar.

I’m also originally from the Bay Area and came out to Honolulu a couple of years ago. I miss SF dimsum. So many good places gone. Tong Kiang. HK Lounge II. At least Yank Sing is still doing well. Any suggestions for similar places on Oahu. I miss it :(. Thanks. Fun channel.

Ah yes, I liked HK Lounge II too! For dim sum, I’ve gone to Jade Dynasty in Ala Moana. Though, I hear Ginger & Garlic in Chinatown is good.

I am in the City... We hit Good Mong Kok Bakery on Stockton on Sunday's when we grocery shop! The Shark used to be on smash. What strange is I only got groceries, hit the restaurant store across the street from green apple or green apple, or duck on Clement but never dim sum! Bon Appetito
