What tea do you want?

I was at Yam Cha (Dim Sam) today and of course they gave me Jasmine tea without even asking which tea I wanted. Being a non-Chinese person I couldn’t possibly drink anything but, right? I asked for a different tea and they only had Pu’er or Wulung. Since the Pu’er there is horrible I chose the Wulong (which turned out to be just as bad).

Something funny happened though: A man walked in who looked Chinese, but couldn’t speak Cantonese at all. I knew this because when the waiter asked him "飲咩呀茶"(What tea do you want to drink?) he put up his hand and showed two fingers saying, “Two people.” They only ask you what tea you want to drink if you look Chinese. Really annoying. I like asking them why they didn’t ask me what tea I wanted and seeing their confused reaction.
