Dim Sum: cantonese style

http://www.hawaii-aloha.com/ - Dim Sum -in hawai'i has a strong tradition and it's not surprising since the custom originated in Canton, the region from which many Hawai'i immigrants came.These drawn-out meals — consisting of dumplings, baked treats, savories, snacks and, invariably, tea — are not taken alone.The name speaks to the connection between dim sum and human interaction.The term is variously translated as "a little bit of heart" or "heart's delight" or "dot heart," meaning something that touches the heart. Steaming carts emerge from the kitchen every few minutes during the height of dim sum service and all you need to do is point to be served.
