Not everyone is on the same page when it comes to understanding what DIM SUM 點心 actually are. Here's a quick DIM SUM break down from the video itself :
- Dim Sum, LEVEL 0 : If you know nothing about DIM SUM, just keep in mind that it’s these little steaming baskets, the bamboo steamers, in Chinese restaurants. ‘S all you need !
- Dim Sum, LEVEL 1 : DIM SUM are like small foods that are meant to go along with tea. In fact that’s how they were originally created in tea houses in south east China and Hong Kong. It’s a bit like SPANISH TAPAS who goes along drinks so well. And just like tapas they are meant to be shared.
- DIM SUM, level 2 : DIM SUM are a breakfast or brunch thing, not an evening thing. They can be served as early as 5am up to mid afternoon…
- DIM SUM LEVEL 3 : DIM SUM are not only steamed foods. They can be Baked, Braised, Fried, Steamed or even a combination of any of these methods. You officially graduated from DIM SUM UNIVERSITY.
