Not all Hong Kongers speak fluent English, especially if you are visiting a local "Cha chaan teng" 茶餐廳 (tea restaurant,) but these are the best places to taste local Cantonese food! Dumpling is "kau-tsee" in Cantonese.
That's so odd.. You could try say 'Jiaozi'. That's mandarin, not sure how to say it in Cantonese..
Usually people from Hong Kong are good with English.
