welcome drinks

Literally translated as “So close to the heart”, Dim Sums are, in reality, a large range of hors d’ oeuvres, Cantonese people traditionally enjoy in restaurants for breakfast and lunch, but never for dinner, washed down by tea. A familiar scene at any Cantonese restaurant---which is often on several floors, is of young girls pushing trolleys replete with goodies in bamboo baskets piled high or small dishes next to each other. As they mill around the dining tables, they call out the names of their wares, and place the baskets and dishes onto tables when diners signal their wishes.
