    Dim sum means "touch the heart" in Cantonese, the dialect of Canton, China. It refers to small dishes served traditionally in teahouses. The exact origins of dim sum and its name are uncertain, but the dishes typically include freshly steamed or fried foods like dumplings and rolls served on small plates.
