Dim Sum
Dim Sum means "light snack". Dim Sum forms part
of the Chinese Tradition of drinking tea (Yam Cha in Cantonese).
It originates from the need to eat something during Yum Cha.
You can enjoy a wide variety of Dim Sum from early morning
to mid-afternoon in Cantonese restaurants. Often, the steaming
bamboo basket of delectable dishes are paraded past on trolleys,
so you can take a look before choosing or order it by filling
a card to the waiter.
