Dim Sum Paradise: The ultimate heart touching food

Do you know what makes your taste buds explode and your mouth water? Is it sushi, pizza, or beef? NO! It is dim sum! Not only is it tasty, but it also brings people together. It is fascinating that a simple dish can do such a beautiful thing. It does mean “touch heart” after all!

Soup Dumplings: A Taste of Paradise

One of my favourite dim sum dishes is soup dumplings (also known as xiao long bao). Usually, the soup dumplings are served in bamboo steamers. Soup dumplings are a type of dim sum that have a skin on the outside and are filled with heartwarming hot broth and delightful pork on the inside. The idea of soup dumplings was originally conceived in Changzhou, Jiangsu, China. It truly is a dim sum paradise!

BBQ Pork Buns: Fluffy Perfection

My second favourite dim sum is BBQ pork buns. I recommend this wholeheartedly because the bread on the outside is as fluffy as clouds, and the inside is filled with BBQ sauce and BBQ pork. My favourite part is when you take a bite; the BBQ sauce with the pork comes exploding in your mouth, making it delicious. These buns originated in Guangdong.

Egg Tarts: A Sweet Finale

Last but not least, I would like to present a dim sum that originated in Macau. Can you guess what it is? Yes! It is the egg tart (or Dan Ta). It has a crispy crust on the outside and a jello-like substance in the middle. The custard filling is sweet and rich too! The dim sum masters are very proud of their masterpiece. They are adroit in their dim sum crafting skills, which makes people get addicted and keep coming back for more.

Dim Sum: A Magical Experience

Whenever I go to dim sum restaurants, I see plenty of families all together, either eating, chatting, or leaving. I reckon anyone who has a broken family can go out and eat dim sum together since it could bring everybody together. Not just family or relatives; sometimes it could also be friends! Well, isn’t dim sum just magical?
