Dim Sum

The Chinese cuisine dim sum has become the new trend in dining. Dim sum is a meal that is served at lunch and most restaurants only offer it on the weekends. It is always served with tea and includes a wide range of small dishes. The items are usually served on a small plate or in a steamer basket.

The server at the restaurant brings around a cart with many small dishes that you select from. The meals usually include meat, seafood, vegetables, and some times fruits and desserts. Its polite to use your utensils but most of the dishes are finger foods and are easy to eat. Its a very fun and delicious experience and it allows you to try lots of new foods without buying several dishes. The small servings are inexpensive and allow you to be satisfied and experiment without the hefty price tag.

This style of Chinese cuisine has been around for ages but has only recently became popular making it difficult to find a restaurant that does dim sum. One place in south Florida that is well known for its dim sum is called China Dumpling, it is located in Boynton Beach and serves this cuisine every Saturday and Sunday from 11:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
