Steamed Spare Ribs w/Rice Noodle Rolls

March 28, 2009 · Posted in Cheap Eats, Chinese food, Dim Sum 

My favorite dim sum dish of all time is this spare ribs/rice noodle rolls!  This is also known as Pai Gwut Chern, in Cantonese, and it’s quite common in your local dim sum restaurant or Chinese bakery.  On the weekends, my mother would buy me this from the bakery on Avenue U, Century 21 Bakery Cafe and I would feast on this like a wild animal! I personally think it’s great that the Chinese bakery serves hot foods as well as baked goods. I will do a review on the bakery itself another day, but for now let me tell you how tasty this really is!

There is something so terribly delicious and addictive about this dish.   Usually rice noodles are plain unless accompanied by soy sauce, and luckily this was drenched in sweet soy sauce!  The rice noodle rolls are soft and a little chewy to eat, and the flavored enhanced spare ribs from the soy sauce are just about the two best combos ever to compliment this dish!  It tastes so good when it’s nice and warm and is not advised to eat the next day because the rice noodle gets hard and loses it’s flavor!

Anyways, I am going to finish this dish, but in the meanwhile please tell me what your favorite dim sum dishes are!
