Dim sum is a traditional Cantonese meal that includes a variety of dumplings, rolls, buns, meats and seafood, often enjoyed sharing-style for breakfast or lunch in the company of family and friends. Although dim sum has become quite popular in North America, some may not know that it was originally associated with tea houses in Hong Kong and Guangzhou, where travellers along The Silk Road would stop to rest and drink a cup of hot tea. The tradition of serving small snack dishes alongside the tea began here hundreds of years ago and continues today. Southern China's most beloved culinary export is alive and well here in Toronto. Many authentic Chinese restaurants offer steamed pork buns, fried dumplings, beef balls, rice noodle rolls and other favourite dishes.
