Hargausiumei

Har as in bar
Gau as in gown
Siu as in sue
Mei as in my

There, Hargausiumei - easy!

Hargau is a shrimp dumpling, the wrapping is made of tang-flour dough while the filing is shrimp and bamboo shoots.

Siu mei is a pork dumpling, being shrimp and chopped pork contained in a plain flour and egg dough wrapping.

Hargau and Siumei are two of the most popular Chinese dim sum dishes (a bit like Spanish tapas). 'Dim Sum' - literal meaning 'touch the heart' - is a style of Cantonese food served as small bite-sized portions of food in small steamer baskets or on small plates. 

And my name!
