Dim sum originates from Hong Kong, and what a better place to indulge in the Cantonese classic than at Flower Drum? Cheung fun are thin sheets of rolled rice noodles that envelop fillings like juicy prawns, sweet barbecue pork or liver. Flower Drum’s version places slices of scallop between the steamed noodles so the delicate seafood arrives just-cooked and is served with a touch of sweet soy. It's best enjoyed alongside fragrant, jasmine tea.
