Is anyone in this thread actually Chinese? While most info is on the surface correct alot is being left out in regards to a real dim sum experience. As an example, the turnip cake is traditionally served with Oyster sauce which improves that taste of the dish considerably imo.

I am Chinese but American born. I believe the turnip cake is generally served with hoisin or chili sauce, not oyster sauce.

I am quite positive it is not chili sauce and isn't hoisin sauce another name for plum sauce? I reconfirmed with my chinese connection to make sure that I was correct when saying the sauce we get it served with is Oyster Sauce. Oyster Sauce also goes well with Choi in case anyone likes this.
