Dim sum is a traditional Chinese cuisine that originated in the southern regions of China, particularly in Guangdong. It is a popular snack food served in small steamer baskets or plates, and is typically eaten for breakfast or lunch. Dim sum dishes include a variety of steamed buns, dumplings, and small pastries filled with meat, seafood, or vegetables. Popular dim sum items include steamed pork buns (Char Siu Bao), shrimp dumplings (Har Gow), steamed rice noodle rolls (Cheong Fun), and fried turnip cakes (Lo Bak Go). Dim sum is typically served in a restaurant or teahouse, where it is often enjoyed with tea. The practice of "yum cha," or "drinking tea," is an important aspect of dim sum culture, and diners often spend hours chatting and socializing over their meal. In recent years, dim sum has become increasingly popular all over the world, with many restaurants now offering dim sum menus in cities across the globe. Despite its international appeal, dim sum remains an essential part of Chinese culinary culture, and continues to be an important part of daily life in many parts of southern China.
