DIM SUM MENU
Dim Sum
The Cantonese word "dim sum" literally means "to point to the heart's desire." It is a very apt description for a type of food that captured the hearts of the Chinese people as far back as the 10th Century A.D. During the Sung Dynasty, the Chinese people often supplemented their three meals a day with small snacks. Taken at tea houses along the highways or in the city, these snacks included various dumplings prepared by street vendors. Later on, these savory specialties evolved into what is now a sophisticated branch of Cantonese cuisine. Dim Sum is an interesting and inexpensive way of sampling various dishes, including steamed dumplings filled with seafood, meat, sweet potatoes, or preserves. This extremely popular traditional meal is served here on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday from 11:30AM to 3:00PM.
