Tooth Pick Stars! (How Hong Kong Kids Kill Time during Yum Cha)

 

Hong Kong families love spending family Sundays in Chinese Restaurants (yum cha), which usually last the whole morning.  While the adults talk, drink tea, eat dim sum, read newspaper, the kids are usually engaged in their virtual world of NSD, PSP or games in their parents’ phones. 

But for HongKongers born in the 80’s or earlier, there were no video games to play and whatever on the dim sum tables became toys.  I came across the video about one of those childhood games we loved - it takes 4 pieces of tooth picks, and a little drip of tea to make a star.  Take a look, it’s fun!
