Shenzhen Border Crossing First Stop: Dim Sum at Dian Dou De 🫖

During holidays, I often head north to enjoy some delicious food. This time, my first stop after crossing the Shenzhen border is Dian Dou De for morning tea 🫖. Located near the Luohu Port in Shenzhen, it’s just a 10-minute drive away. You definitely can’t miss Dian Dou De 🥢! As a renowned old brand from Guangzhou, Dian Dou De has nearly 100 directly-operated stores across the Greater Bay Area. They are dedicated to preserving the intangible cultural heritage of dim sum, launching 100 fresh dim sum items every month. ✨ Recommended Dim Sum: **Grand Slam Lobster Dumpling 🦞** The shrimp meat is sweet, firm, and bouncy! The shrimp is hand-pounded into shrimp paste, mixed with scallops, and paired with fresh Yunnan zucchini, jellyfish, carrots, and more to enhance the flavor. Each dumpling contains six layers of deliciousness 😋. **Colorful Tomato Burst 🍅** Sweet and rich in flavor with a crisp texture. Bite into it, and the juice bursts out—perfect for refreshing and stimulating your appetite during summer. **Honey BBQ Pork Bun 🐖** Soft and springy with sweet BBQ pork filling. It’s one of the four kings of morning tea. **Golden Crispy Red Rice Roll 🫜** The red rice roll is made with crispy net skin and shrimp. The outer layer is soft and sticky, the net skin is crispy, and the shrimp is bouncy—three layers of texture! **Signature Siu Mai 🥟** Made with a mix of lean and fatty pork chunks, the filling is juicy with a rich aroma of pork fat 🤤. Bite into it, and the pork juices burst out! **Flaky Egg Tart 🥧** With layers of flaky pastry and a creamy, aromatic custard filling that jiggles. **Signature Crispy Fried Dough 🥢** Large, golden, crispy fried dough sticks with a fluffy texture and an explosion of crunchiness. **Real Pineapple Bun 🍍** Packed with rich pineapple filling! The sweet filling and crispy crust are irresistible. From June 1 to June 30, customers with a Hong Kong-Macau Home Return Permit can receive one free Real Pineapple Bun at any Dian Dou De store in Shenzhen.
