When you go out for Dim Sum, you absolutely have to order Ha Gow.  The Chinese think
that without having had Ha Gow, you haven't had Dim Sum!

This classic dumpling satisfies on three levels: appearance, texture, and taste.  Ha Gow is made by chopping seasoned, raw shrimp with a bit of crunchy bamboo shoot.  This filling is placed inside a circle of rice-flour dough, sealed into a distinctive pouch, and steamed.
