Snacks from your region

Sure. First names in Cantonese, Mandarin names in brackets. All Southern Chinese.

Cha siu bao (Cha shao bao) - Steamed Pork Bun

This stuff is good, I'm not a fan of rice noodles though.

Bun Kabab

Fried Finger Fish

Dahi Baray

Seekh Kabab

Gola Ganda

Basically I'll eat snacks from any roadside stall especially the ones at Burns Road!

Northern China cuisine probably looks the least appatizing of all of China cuisines. It's mainly very simple and hearty dishes.

Noodles in beef stew

Unleavened pan bread with green onions

Of course dumplings

Baozi or steamed bread with filling in it like dumpling filling

Sticky rice steamed in a bamboo leaf with jubjub fruit inside

Beef stew (called red roasted beef)

Pork belly stew (called five flower pork) - Yes that is fat and skin and oh so good.

Also staples foods

Steamed corn bread

and steamed bread

I know Chang fen is not very common in the North... but it is just amazing. One of my favourites.

Combine it with You tiao, and you get Zha liang. Tasty beyond words.

I hear "real" Chinese food is very different to what we get in the restaurants.

Why exactly is that?

I used to live on Dimsums when I lived in SF Chinatown. It was so cheap and fresh. My favorites were the scallop, spinach and ginger pork dumplings and the fried sesame balls.

And there are so many kinds. In HK i used to order by the serial number on the menu. And very appropriately named.
The way to my heart is through my stomach!

That is probably one reason why it is called "Dim sum".

Oh I agree, there are lots of dimsum places in Canada, and my family goes pretty regularly. I like the translucent shrimp dumplings

In Toronto's China town it's cheaper to go out than to cook for yourself.

If you're downtown I can recommend a good dumpling place. It's called mother's dumpling on south side of spadina and college. Taste like Chinese home cooking, very popular now that they moved from Dundas.

And if you can handle heat, the best Sichuan restaurant in the GTA is the red lotus in Mississauga.

@ liquid, my heart hurts just looking at that.
