This is the first time I have joined the blog contest from Ladies of Hive community. There are two options of writing themes that we can choose from. And for my debut this week, I choose the first theme:
What food makes you feel better when you are feeling sick?
At first I thought It's gonna be an easy thing to write. But then I realize, there are sooo many food that I crave whenever I'm feeling sick that could make me feel better. Sometimes I'd like to have lasagna, some other times I craved for chicken congee, the other times I wanted a bowl of cream soup, or chicken soup, or something else. The point is, it has to be warm and comforting.
So I think again, what particular food that I crave the most whenever I feel unwell and I really enjoy eating it above anything else.
After a while, I realized... It's dim sum!
A little bit about dim sum, it's a small Asian dish with many variants and cooking styles, commonly served with some carts that are steam-heated. The term dim sum is from China, in Japan it is called Tenshin.
I remember several times, when I felt unwell but not very sick, I'd look for some fresh air and good food. So my husband and I walked to a restaurant nearby that serves dim sum with some variants.
Usually I order steamed dim sum like Hakao and Shumai. Each of them have some optional stuffing like chicken, shrimp, mushroom, or veggies. Sometimes I also order Dumpling Soup to make my body become warmer and better.
But when I was sick and couldn't go out, I chose not to go to the restaurant and preferred to order it online. Especially since Covid-19 pandemic, I avoid eating at restaurants.
Anyway, for me, steamed food, soup, or any other warm food and hot lemon tea are the perfect match to make me feel good, warm, and comfortable. When I feel good, I feel my body is getting fresh and healthier.
It's so common, because warm food and beverages are comforting and help us when we're feeling under the weather.

I am Chinese in one of my Grand Mother's side and I was enthralled with the tasty cooking, I learned to make all kinds of Soups including Congee whom my older son considers as Comfort food when I make it nice and creamy with a dash of green onions. I'm too busy making Dim sum so I indulge by purchasing the frozen dish to steam at home, my kids love it even if they are not sick. We don' have to be sick to enjoy Dim sum.
Thanks for the Entry @sigota ❤️🍜
Thank you for sharing your experiment too. I bet your home made congee is so special, especially to your son. Yes I agree, we could enjoy dim sum every time, not only when we're sick. Sometimes I buy frozen dim sum and steam it at home too, and enjoy that warm comfort dish in ordinary days.
Thank you for visiting. Love your style, by the way 😉
The dim sum looks terrific! I need to have more of this in my life. I love Asian food and these dainty little dim sum look fantastic.

Love dim-sum, I live in the countryside of Portugal, and nothing like this around here.... Your post made my miss it... Look so good! Where are you from?
Great post.
Ah, another dim sum lover. Exciting!
No dim sum in Portugal? That's too bad... Maybe you can make it at home?
I'm from Indonesia. Thank you for visiting 😊
You think I can make it at home?? Wow, that could be amazing. Indonesia, I whis someday to visit there, it sound so special.
Hmm, I don't know. I couldn't make it from scratch too. Sometimes I buy frozen dim sum and steam it at home. That's all I can do 😁
