<3 dim sum!

I'm a cantonese speaker, so I don't know if the names I supply will help much, since Cantonese can be romanized a billion different ways.

1. [insert meat type] Cherng Fun. Rice noodle type dough wrapped around shrimp/beef/pork.
2. I think they're deep fried shrimp puffs? They look... weird.
3. Yerng Ai Gwa. Eggplants stuffed with fish cake/paste.
4. Never seen those before.
5. Deep fried taro balls. Forgot the chinese name.
6. Oh... THESE are the deep fried shrimp puffs!
7. Law bat goh. Radish cakes. My mom makes these too! I can probably bug her for a recipe later. Mmmm.
8. These are either Ha Gao (shrimp dumplings) or more likely Gow Choy Gao (leek dumplings... usually with shrimp) because Ha Gao usually doesn't have green stuff in it.
9. Feng Jiao. "Phoenix Claws" aka chicken feet in some yummy sauce. I love these but my more western friends are always grossed out by them.
10. Dow Fa. Warm tofu in syrup.
