Dim Sum

Dim sum is a style of Chinese cuisine (mainly Cantonese but there are also other varieties) prepared as small bite-sized portions of food served in small steamer baskets or on small plates.

Dim sum is usually linked with the older tradition from yum cha (literally: “drink tea”), which has its roots in travellers on the ancient Silk Road needing a place to rest.

However, in modern society, it has become commonplace for restaurants to serve dim sum at dinner time.
