Translated literally, dim sum means “touch your heart”, and it does. Dim sum originated as a family meal consisting of dumplings and other small eats served in steaming bamboo baskets, usually eaten in the morning or early afternoon, but today you can have it any time of day. Hong Kong is one of the best places to sample these delicacies, head to Tim Ho Wan, known as the cheapest Michelin–starred restaurant in the world (there are twelve locations in Hong Kong, but only the North Point, Sham Sui Po, and Tai Kwok Tsui locations are in the Michelin Guide). Though Dim Sum and Chinese cuisine are a must try, Hong Kong has become an international foodie destination, with some of the best restaurants in the World finding their home there. You’ll be spoilt for choice.
