What is Dim Sum?

Dim sum is a delightfully delicious meal consisting of light dishes of Chinese cuisine, served with tea. Delectable and exotic, a meal of dim sum can truly be one of the best you've ever had. It is a specialized Chinese cuisine that requires many ingredients that can be easily found at a Chinese or other Asian grocery store.

It is meant to be sort of an Asian brunch that is served a la carte. Once seated, the staff will come over to your table while pushing carts that loaded with all sorts of delicacies. It is mostly taken for breakfast or for lunch, and Sundays are extremely popular for a family lunch or breakfast. On those days you will have to arrive early or know someone at the dim sum restaurant if you do not want to wait in line for hours if you want to sit at a table.
