Figured this would be the most appropriate forum that I participate for me to ask.

Anyways, there is a particular dish that I always try ordering but have no luck. The item is never really in the menu or at least, I don't see a picture of it. English is my native languange so perhaps it is indeed on the menu, but no pic. I order by pointing normally...

Here is my best description ( I couldn't google pics):

1. It is brown and crunchy and about the size of all dumpling but shaped more like a football. I think, it is taro inside. Not sure though. Something starchy and I think there is ground pork/beef

2. This one is normally wheeled in the carts at some places. It looks rice noodle and in long strips. You normally get soy sauce to dip it with. There is shrimp inside.

If someone can provide a rough way of translating into English or something along those lines that would help.

And is Kirin decent for Dim sum? That's where I normally go since it looks pretty clean and the menus have pictures.

Oh, and recommendations on stuff to order for next time as well. I normally get the white dumpling with shrimp, pork buns, and that other pork dumpling thats wrapped in yellow. And some other similiar stuff.

TIA
