Dim Sum
This literally means 'dot heart' or 'touch the heart'. It takes in all the small, tempting, steamed or fried mouthfuls served with numerous cups of steaming tea at those long brunches called yum cha ('drink tea') which Chinese people have made a way of life. Traditionally it is particularly popular to eat dim sum on Sundays, however in the West whole restaurants are now dedicated to serving dim sum, at all hours, Monday to Sunday.
