Cao Zhen caozhen0806@126.com Dim sum, a typical Cantonese cuisine, is a weekly ritual in the form of a brunch for most families in Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao. Whether you are a vegetarian or an omnivore, you can choose from a wide variety of small bite-sized portions of steamed, fried or boiled food. Eating dim sum is both a very personal and communal experience at the same time. Even if you eat alone, you can still enjoy a light meal of two or three plates or steam boxes and a pot of tea which is referred to by the Cantonese as “一盅兩件” (meaning “one cup, two pieces”). Most restaurants of Cantonese or Chaozhou cuisine serve dim sum brunches. Li Bao Ge, Laurel, Chunmanyuan and Tao Heung are very famous Cantonese cuisine brands in Shenzhen with several branches in the city. Chinese-cuisine restaurants in luxury hotels also serve quality dim sum but it may be much more expensive. Below are some of the famous and popular dim sum restaurants in Bao’an.
