Dim Sum Recipes - Dim Sum Cuisine

Dim Sum is a Cantonese custom and is linked to the Chinese tradition of Yam Cha or drinking tea. Today dim sum is served throughout China particularly in Hong Kong and Shanghai. Majority of the dim sum served are either steamed or deep fried. Among the famous dim sum cuisine - har kau, siew mai, steamed pork spare ribs, char siu bao, wu kok, deep fried wonton, shrimp dumplings, lotus leaf - glutinous rice egg tarts and roast pork.

Another favorite wrapping is the lotus leaf, particularly filled, as in ho yip fan, with steamed fried rice. However do not miss the chance to try  dim sum desserts, which more than make up for the fact that Cantonese restaurant menus contain few sweet desserts. "Thousand-layer sweet cake with egg topping" (chien chang go), a piece of flaky sweetness; nor mai chi or coconut snowballs; or dan sarn, the crisp and sticky sweet cakes topped with almonds are all for the sweet-tooth.

Drinking tea and eating dim sum is to go to one of the Chinese restaurants in Hong Kong's major hotels during their dim sum service hours. These are usually at lunchtime and all day on Sundays and public holidays.
