Yum cha (
traditional Chinese:
飲茶), also known as
Ban ming (品茗), is a
Chinese style morning or afternoon
tea, which involves drinking
Chinese tea and eating
dim sum dishes.
Yum cha in
Cantonese literally means "drink tea", while
ban ming is a more poetic "tasting of tea".
dim sum (點心) refers to the wide range of small dishes, whereas
yum cha, or "drinking tea", refers to the entire meal.
Yum cha is an integral part of Hong Kong's culinary culture.
A cup of steaming fresh tea is the perfect complement to many sumptuous dishes or dim sum.
Having a Chinese Dim Sum meal is an absolute must for any visitor to Hong Kong. While the choices of dim sum places ranges from rather grundgy local places to upmarket hotels, Serenade Chinese Restaurant combines a pleasant atmosphere and spectacular view with some pretty decent trolley cart served dim sum.
This is the old style for selling the dim sum, staffs will trundled arround with the trolley which is full of dim sum. Guests can stop the trolley and take the dim sum, and the staff will give a chop on the "dim sum card".
Nowadays, you can just tick what you want on the paper menu.
