This post I gonna blog about Hong Kong Dim Sum that you guys sure drool after reading it. Don't blame me, me myself can't resist to have the food again when I posted this up :(

For a short brief for non-Asian readers,

Dim Sum is the name for a Chinese cuisine which involves a wide variety of light dishes served alongside Chinese tea. It is usually served in the mornings until noon time at Chinese restaurants and at specialty dim sum eateries where typical dishes are available throughout the day.

Rice Noodle Rolls or famously known as Cheong Fun are wide rice noodles that are steamed and then rolled. They are often filled with different types of meats or vegetables inside but can be served without any filling. Rice noodle rolls are fried after they are steamed and then sprinkled with sesame seed. Popular fillings include beef, dough fritter, shrimp, and barbecued pork. Often topped with a sweetened soy sauce.

The drinking of tea is as important to dim sum as the food. A popular tea which is said to aid in digestion is Bo Lay(po lai, pu erh), which is a strong, fermented tea. Chrysanthemum , oolong (wu lung) and green tea can be served as well.

Tea is believe that able to clear the oil,serving detox purposes and aid in digestion. Hence it's a definite matching drinks for Dim Sum.
