Love dim sum, but don't know what to order or how to order? Bring this app, find what you like, and tap the speaker icon to hear the dish pronounced in Chinese (Cantonese or Mandarin) using iOS text-to-speech.
I made this app after visiting Hong Kong and trying to crash course learn Cantonese in the food courts. The early focus was just on dim sum and Cantonese text-to-speech and my favorite restaurants, but has since expanded (based on user tips and requests and my own interests) to more broadly cover Chinese and Chinese-adjacent food (over five hundred dishes) and include features such as Mandarin (traditional and simplified), search (English and Chinese), saving favorites, AI camera recognition of dishes, speech-to-text pronunciation practice, basic phrases, and over five hundred restaurants in the US (sorry, I gave up on trying to list every restaurant in the world, it's just not feasible).
Tips:
If the voice is stuck in Cantonese or Mandarin even after switching the tabs in the Practice screen, go to the Settings app, select Accessibility then Spoken Content and check the Chinese voice. If it's not one of the Siri voices, try selecting Siri in Mainland China, Hong Kong, or Taiwan.
If you don't hear the Chinese speech
1) check the mute switch on your iPhone and make sure it isn't on.
2) text-to-speech for a particular voice sometimes seems to require an internet connect, at least on initial use (same with speech-to-text, the microphone practice button).
2) sometimes a device will have trouble accessing the text-to-speech voice (it's the Hong Kong Chinese voice used for Accessibility in Settings), so try turning your device off and on.
Tapping the speaker icon plays back the Chinese pronunciation at half speed to help you learn. Tap the microphone icon to bring up more options, including adjusting the playback speed, switching between Cantonese and Mandarin, and practicing speaking (the speed and language settings are also in Settings).
Aside from the default speed, the speech may sound not quite natural because the app does not play back recorded speech but instead uses iOS text-to-speech functionality, which utters one character (i.e. one syllable) at a time, which may not match how an entire compound word or phrase is normally pronounced (you can hear this effect when using Siri).
The home screen shows categories of dishes. Tap each category to see the dishes. Or tap on the Search button at the top left (some vocabulary items like "takeout" are not in categories but available in via search).

Love this app, but…

This is a great app and I’ve been able to share the names of some favorite dishes with my son. But just today when we opened the app, we were quite upset to find that all the dishes are now in mandarin instead of Cantonese. What happened? I checked the option for Cantonese instead of Mandarin and it’s all still in Mandarin. Please fix. Thank you!

Totally awesome app

My husband is from Macau in Speak Cantonese. I’ve been self studying Cantonese for almost 30 years. I was always frustrated when going to the restaurants because the dishes don’t seem like anything from regular Cantonese. So this app is so fantastic. I downloaded this app several years ago when it only had something like 20 or 30 dim sum dishes. About three months ago I went back to the app and was shocked to see it has so many more dishes included. I have memorized all of the dishes in the entire app for Cantonese. I also study Mandarin on the side. And was wishing that this app had also Mandarin. Today I was thinking I bet you it has Mandarin somewhere. And I just found out how to turn it on. I was extremely excited. Love this app and it’s perfect for anybody studying Mandarin or Cantonese and wants toBe able to read the menu in the Chinese restaurant

so awesome dim sum :)

Thank you, so much for creating this app. I can speak Cantonese, however i don’t know how to read a lot of Chinese so the only dim sum names I know are some basic ones! Addition, my kids will love this! This will allow them to learn to order for themselves. If possible add some Boba names :)and the complicated ice and sugar Ritual.

Made to order

This is one of the best applications on my phone. As a 3rd generation Chinese American, it is a little embarrassing not to be able ask for my favorite items by name. This app has changed all of that. My biggest problem is that the servers now assume I’m a native speaker and start to converse with me in Cantonese about other things. I’m suddenly toast. LOL

Can you add conversations on how to actually order something ? Like Yat lung haa cao. Leong tip cheong fun. Yap pei Cha, Fogei lip jau (to put this on a bag),and finally Maai taan.

I became interested in dim sum before a trip to San Francisco. I wanted to try it but didn’t know the names of any dishes or what each was made of. I have severe dietary restrictions, so I can’t just take a chance on whatever looks good. The photos on the app are so inviting - so many things look delicious. The app served me well for a trip to Hong Kong a few months later. There are new updates constantly, giving the impression that is made by someone who really loves working on this app and adding to it all the time. Highly recommended!
