History…  

The story of Dim Sum began in teahouses of the Canton (now Guandong) province over a thousand years ago. Tired, Thirsty and hungry travellers and farmers along the Old Silk Road would gather at teahouses to suppress their hunger and thirst with a selection of small savoury and sweet delicacies. Chinese tea usually accompanied the food as it this was believed to aid digestion. Over many years this evolved into a tradition as a weekend family day known as yum cha "to drink tea" where family could enjoy food with each other.
