Moist Morsels & Crunchy Bites

Literally meaning ‘food to touch the heart’, dim sum are very popular throughout China and the rest of the world. The evolution of this Cantonese way of eating since its ancient beginnings in Guangdong is closely connected with the Chinese penchant for consuming light snacks with tea. This led to a huge increase in demand and, over the centuries since 200bce, chefs from all over China have been challenged to be ever more inventive in preparing bitesize morsels, dumplings, snacks and assorted finger food.
