Yesterday I went over to a friend's house for some home cooked Chinese breakfast. We had dimsum which means 'touch the heart' when translated into English. Typically in chinese restaurants dimsum would be small bite-sized portions of food served on little plates. In chinese we call it 'yum cha' which means to drink tea, and chinese tea is usually drank together with the meal. Usually chinese families go on a weekly basis to yum cha and this is the time to gather the whole family together and catch up on everyone's lifes.
