Hong Kong Style Dim Sum

What would you take for breakfast in the early morning? Or tea-time in the late evening?



Hmmm....DIM SUM I suppose!


It is convenient to drop by any nearest coffee shop to have a 'bao', 'chicken glutinous rice' or 'meat dumplings'. These are more common dim sum where you can find at anyplace.

Dim Sum is usually served with tea. It is now a staple of Chinese dining culture, especially in Hong Kong.

Traditional dim sum includes various types of steamed buns such as cha siu bau, dumplings and rice noodle rolls (cheong fun), which contain a range of ingredients, including chicken, pork, prawns and vegetarian options.


Many dim sum restaurants also offer plates of steamed green vegetables, roasted meats, congee porridge and other soups. Dessert dim sum is also available and many places offer the customary egg tart.


Dim sum can be cooked by steaming and frying, among other methods. The serving sizes are usually small and normally served as three or four pieces in one dish.
