History of Dim Sum
It is quite interesting to share the history and origins of Dim Sum. It is said to have its own story; once upon a time, travelers on long journeys needed a place to rest. Therefore, small stalls called tea houses were built along the roadsides. Those who were tired from walking would stop at these tea houses to rest while drinking tea to relieve their fatigue. In the past, combining tea with food was considered inappropriate and believed to cause weight gain. After some time, they discovered that tea could aid digestion, so tea house owners began selling various snacks to accompany the tea. This is said to be the birth of Dim Sum. Although not a heavy meal, Dim Sum has now become a staple of Chinese food culture. It is very special; despite being a simple dish, it can strengthen family bonds when eaten together.
