Dim Sum Facts

Dim Sum originated with the Cantonese in Southern China.

While it started as a snack, it has now become a stable of Chinese dining culture.

It is treated as a meal where friends and families gather together to have a relaxing and happy dining experience. The serving sizes of dim sum are small and often come in 3 and 4 pieces. Because of the small serving sizes, one can try a huge variety of food.

Eating dim sum ar a restaurant is usually known in Cantonese as going To "drink Tea" (yum Cha), as tea is typically served with dim sum.

Traditionally dim sum includes various types of steam buns such as char siew Bao, chicken Bao and other delights such as Siew Mai and Cheong fun
