About Chinese yum cha

Chinese Yum Cha is a traditional Cantonese dining experience that centers around tea and a variety of bite-sized dishes known as dim sum. Originating from Southern China, Yum Cha typically includes steamed dumplings, buns, rolls, and savory or sweet pastries, often served in bamboo steamers or small plates. Common ingredients include shrimp, pork, chicken, rice flour, and vegetables, making it a diverse culinary experience. Some items, like steamed dumplings or vegetable-based dim sum, are lower in calories and rich in nutrients, while fried options or those filled with fatty meats can be higher in fat and sodium. The tea served alongside, such as jasmine or pu-erh tea, provides antioxidants and aids digestion. Yum Cha encourages moderation as it’s designed for sharing, allowing you to balance indulgence with lighter options for a healthier dining choice.
