Dimsum - The Culinary Ambassador of Hong Kong
Dimsum, also known as 'điểm sấm' in Vietnamese or commonly referred to as 'điểm tâm'
Dimsum and its association with the Yum Cha tradition, meaning 'drinking tea and eating small snacks' such as shrimp dumplings, sticky rice, steamed pork buns, custard buns, spring rolls, and more. The Yum Cha tradition originated from the needs of travelers along the ancient Silk Road, seeking a place to rest after long journeys. They established tea houses along the way. Later on, the proprietors began serving additional light dishes alongside the beverages. In Hong Kong and other cities in Guangdong province, Dimsum dishes are prepared very early, often starting from 5 in the morning.
The majority of Dimsum customers are usually elderly individuals after their morning exercise routines or families enjoying breakfast together.
The unique art of Dimsum originated from Guangdong, southern China, where the Yum Cha tradition evolved into a main meal. For many people in southern China, Yum Cha is an occasion for family gatherings on weekends. Traditional Dimsum restaurants typically serve Dimsum in the afternoon. However, modern restaurants cater to guests throughout the evening.
Moreover, Dimsum is also sold as a convenient handheld snack for busy students and professionals.
Dimsum is considered a dish that combines all three elements of taste, color, and aroma to touch the hearts of its consumers. Hong Kong cuisine offers hundreds of varieties of Dimsum for diners to choose from: from sweet fillings to savory ones (meat, vegetables, seafood, etc.). The cooking methods include frying or steaming. Enjoying Dimsum authentically means that the steamed dishes are served in these bamboo steamers, with the fragrance of the buns mingling with the aroma of the bamboo, awakening the appetites of diners.
A standard Dimsum dish requires the pastry to be thin but not torn, just enough to reveal the attractive colors of the fillings inside, such as the green of vegetables or the golden hue of shrimp. After steaming for the right amount of time, the pastry should be soft but not mushy. It should neither be too brittle nor too tough, with the pastry being smooth and soft, with less dough and more filling. For fried Dimsum, the pastry must have an evenly golden color, visually appealing.
The unwritten rule when eating Dimsum is the more you order, the more opportunities you have to enjoy various dishes, and it's customary to pour tea for others before filling your own cup.
