90 In 1991's "The Fisher King" we saw all the main characters out on a double date. They ate Chinese food. What item did Anne and Lydia (Mercedes Ruehl and Amanda Plummer) love the most?
Answer: Steamed dumplings

Steamed dumplings are apart of a dining custom referred to as 'dim sum', which means "to touch your heart". These appetizers (usually served with hot tea) began on the famed Silk Road in China. Dim sum is a meal in itself, with several items offered in courses. It is believed by some culinary historians that the 19th century Chinese immigrants inspired 'brunch' in America; dim sum is traditionally offered in mid-morning or lunch hours, thus combining breakfast and lunch into one meal.
