-=- What the heck is Dim
sum? -=-
Dim sum- freely translated, means "A little bit of
Heart". In Tea-Rooms in China the Dim sum is an
inseparable part of the "Yum Cha" (The Tea
Drinking). With the tea, little dough dumplings, filled
with vegetables, all kinds of meat, shrimps, and other
small dishes, salty or sweet, are being served. The dishes
are served in bamboo vaporization bowls, which are placed
over a steam trolley. Every several minutes the kitchen
makes different dishes, and the diners choose their
favorite course.
The making of Dim sum requires both skill and expertise,
and it is taught in special schools. In our restaurant the
Dim sum are made in the traditional customs by experienced
chefs that were selected meticulously from Beijing and
Foojing.
"Yum Cha" means Tea Drinking in Chinese.
According to the Chinese tradition, each time tea is being
served into your cup, you should tap twice with your
fingers on the table, as a "Thank You" gesture.
The custom of tea drinking in China dates back to the
legendary Shen Nung, who is said to have personally tried
hundreds of grasses and herbs to test their medicinal
effects and toxicity.
Tea was a popular drink by the Sung Dynasty (960-1280
A.D.), and gradually, innovations in the tea drinking
custom were introduced, a broad variety of accompaniments
to tea drinking began to appear - Dim sum.
A known Chinese phrase says that "Nothing Compares to
Good Dumplings"...
In China's ancient agricultural society, people would
often head for a tea house after an exhausting day in the
fields. Here they would mix warm conversation with fine
tea and a tantalizing selection of Dim sum. The quantity
of each was kept small so that many different varieties
could be sampled. This custom has continued up through
present day. Many Dim sum restaurants were opened in
Western countries and are popular everywhere.
