Man, all this talk of dim sum is really making me hungry.
I grew up in Los Angeles, right in between Chinatown and Monterey Park so I've had lots of great dim sum. My family also called it 'yum cha'. I also lived in Philadelphia for 5 years and made many trips to Joy Tsin Lau. I've also done some travelling in Asia and had great dim sum in HK and China.
I worked with a caucasian guy from New Zealand and he even called it 'yum cha', which I found very funny.
BTW, the literal translation of dim sum is "a tiny piece of heart". It means that the cook has put a lot of care into making those little dumplings.
I'm surprised no one has mentioned the 1985 movie called, "Dim Sum - A Little Bit of Heart". Nice little movie. It was one of Wayne Wang's first movies to make it to the USA. It doesn't seem to be on VHS or DVD, though.:frowning:
Sorry, no recipes here.
