Make no mistake; do not resort to buying instant dim sum from grocery stores and miss the whole social aspect. Great dim sum is meant to be enjoyed in a loud, relentlessly busy restaurant.<\/p>\n<p>In Hong Kong, one of the Michelin star capitals of the world, there are many legendary restaurants perfect for stirring your dim sum appetite. Among the joints worth ticking off your list are the former hole-in-the-wall, now Michelin-starred <b>Tim Ho Wan<\/b>; <b>Mott 32<\/b>, whose char siu and siu mai are to die for; the modest <b>Choi Lung<\/b> teahouse rest stop on Tai Mo Shan; and <b>Yan Toh Heen<\/b>, another Michelin-starred stop.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, Guangzhou, capital city of Guangdong, is also hodgepodge of teahouses and dim sum spots. Choices include <b>Tao Tao Ju House<\/b>, <b>Bei Yuan Restaurant<\/b>, and <b>Guangzhou Restaurant<\/b>.<\/p>\n<div>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" >\r\n<p style=\"margin-top: 1em;\"><em>See Also: <\/em><strong><a href=\"\/days-to-come\/guide-to-etiquette-in-china\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">A Traveller\u2019s Guide to Etiquette in China (4 Do\u2019s and Dont\u2019s)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" ><\/div>\n<h3><b>The Best Time to Dine on Dim Sum<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>While dim sum dining in Western countries is typically a lunch or an evening affair, dim sum in China is traditionally eaten at breakfast or brunch, usually during Morning Tea from as early as five am until noon. Sundays mornings are particularly dedicated to sitting in a crowded joint with family or friends at a table laden with steaming plates and baskets of dim sum favorites both savory and sweet.<\/p>\n<p>Though worry not if you suddenly have a hankering for it in the middle of the day. Many restaurants that serve the cuisine stay open through dinnertime.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9216\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9216\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-9216 lazyload\" data-src=\"\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/chinese-food-900x598.jpg\" alt=\"chinese food\" width=\"900\" height=\"598\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/chinese-food-900x598.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/chinese-food.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/chinese-food-300x200.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/598;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-9216\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ashleyt\/5903545670\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lim Ashley<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><b>Dim Sum Ordering Etiquette<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>The whole dim sum dining experience in a restaurant with forced intimacy is as elevating as the food itself. Customarily, these tantalizing dishes are served in bamboo or metal steamers and small plastic plates. These are stacked high in rolling trolleys that are pushed around along cramped aisles by servers.<\/p>\n<p>To order, you just wait for a trolley to pass by or stop at your table, and point at the dishes you would like to sample. It\u2019s as simple as that. The server will then unload your choices on the table at lightning, if unceremonious, speed and stamp your order card, which you must keep handy.<\/p>\n<p>If you want a particular dish you\u2019re not seeing on any of the trolleys, ordering a fresh plate from a server is standard. Additionally, cart chasing and gesturing for one to come to you are also acceptable so long as you\u2019re not snatching a dish from under someone\u2019s nose.<\/p>\n<p>Take point: as dim sum is generally family-style dining, be sure to order several baskets for the whole table to share.<\/p>\n<h3><b>What Dim Sum Dishes to Order<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>Take in the baskets of dumplings stuffed with meats and vegetables, steamed buns filled with barbecued pork, rolls smothered in sauce, sweet deserts, and other bite-sized items. One of the best things about dim sum is the variety. There are terrific selections for meat-eaters and vegetarians, as well as sweet tooths. Covetable options are also on hand for those who love the classic dishes as well as those who enjoy trying out unusual fare.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re a brave and experimental eater, the trick is to order what looks good to you or what you find curious. Offbeat things to try include <i>lo baak gou <\/i>(turnip cake) and <i>fung zao <\/i>(fried chicken feet).<\/p>\n<p>Otherwise, stick to the staples like <i>cha siu bao<\/i> (steamed barbecued pork buns), <i>siu mai<\/i> (pork or shrimp-filled dumplings), <i>har gow<\/i> (translucent shrimp dumplings), <i>cheong fan<\/i> (steamed rice noodle rolls), and <i>daan taat <\/i>(egg custard tarts) for dessert.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9217\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9217\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-9217 lazyload\" data-src=\"\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/tea-900x600.jpg\" alt=\"tea\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/tea-900x600.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/tea.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/tea-300x200.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/600;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-9217\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/kaichanvong\/2935199606\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kai Chan Vong<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><b>Drinks and Sides<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>Much like the English Afternoon Tea, it is customarily enjoyed with Chinese tea in a Cantonese breakfast or brunch tradition called <i>yum cha<\/i>, which aptly means \u201cdrink tea.\u201d To properly do dim sum in China, therefore, you must start with tea.
