I live in a small midwestern city that has three places to get dim sum on the weekends. We have also driven all over LA (on numerous occasions) for good dim sum. Cart lady etiquette is also a useful learned behavior. Pre-dim sum in Lansing we used to drive to Windsor ONT for our dim sum fix.
My favorite dish at the moment is Water Chestnut Cake (mǎtí gāo) which is sort of a pan fried "jello". Weird but we took the recommendation of a cart lady and she was not wrong. The cakes resemble jello but the taste is a very floral vanilla (steamed gelatin with chunks of water chestnut & caramelized on the outside).
