饮茶·点心
广式饮茶，或叫港式饮茶，在北京并不是太流行，但这种饮茶吃点心的习惯早就传遍全世界。欧美人称之为“Yum Cha”或“Dim Sum”，它们其实就是广东话“饮茶”和“点心”的音译。

Dim Sum - A Charming Custom Originating in Chinese Teahouses.
Literally meaning 'to touch your heart,' dim sum consists of a variety of dumplings, steamed dishes and other goodies. They are similar to hors d'oeuvres, the hot and cold delicacies served at French restaurants.

Dim Sum Origins:
Originally a Cantonese custom, dim sum is inextricably linked to the Chinese tradition of 'yum cha' or drinking tea. Teahouses sprung up to accommodate weary travelers journeying along the famous Silk Road. Rural farmers, exhausted after long hours working in the fields, would also head to the local teahouse for an afternoon of tea and relaxing conversation.
Still, it took several centuries for the culinary art of dim sum to develop. At one time it was considered inappropriate to combine tea with food: a famous 3rd century Imperial physician claimed this would lead to excessive weight gain. As tea's ability to aid in digestion and cleanse the palate became known, tea house proprietors began adding a variety of snacks, and the tradition of dim sum was born.
