You can find it in all shapes and sizes, as a street-side snack or showcased in fine-dining establishments, and it can cost anywhere from chump change to a pretty penny. While we can trace how dim sum and yum cha (literally ‘drink tea’) culture came to be, there are still many aspects that exist only in oral history.

She was so shocked.” Even his favourite Japanese comics, Oh! My Konbu, was a manga series about a cook’s son who helped his father in culinary adventures.
