If you are feeling adventurous and want something a little different for breakfast or lunch, how about going out for some dim sum? In Chinese the term dim sum means "touch the heart" and refers to the lovely little dishes that make up the dim sum experience. This traditional Cantonese meal is brought right to your table via little push carts. The waitresses stroll up to the table with their carts full of steaming small dishes and with one or two points your table is full of new foods that will delight your taste buds. Now, if you frequent a authentic dim sum restaurant, as we did in china town you may not know what is in the uniquely prepared dishes. But, that is part of the adventure. Just point at whatever looks good and give it a try. My brother who frequents China introduced me and my family to dim sum and he has been in town visiting this week so decided go to the Cathay House together. My girls always love the adventure that dim sum brings.
Here are examples of the different carts.
Here is a dish that is cooked by wrapping it in a lotus leaf.
