One bowl with two pieces () is a term that has long been in the vernacular of Hong Kong tea culture, meaning a bowl of tea with two "delicacies to complement the tea", i.e. dim sum. In Cantonese restaurants of the past, tea was not offered in a present-day teapot but in a bowl. The dim sum was not bite-sized. Instead, quite a number of them were simply big buns, such that two of them easily filled up one's stomach. An example is chicken ball dai bao (éÂÂçÂÂ大å . lit. Chicken Ball Big Bun, meaning a bun with chicken filling).
In modern terms, the "two pieces" normally refers to har gow (è¦é¤Â) and shumai (çÂÂè³£). The concept has been influenced by the "bite-sized trend".
