Watch: If you want to dim sum right, you should also learn how to enjoy the tea

Dim sum is one of the most popular and delicate styles of Chinese food. It originated in the Cantonese-speaking areas of China centuries ago and has spread across the world. But dim sum is not just about the food. It’s an event as much as a meal. Families and friends gather together to enjoy the food, drink tea and chat, sometimes for hours.
