Don Mee's is very proud to continue offering the
ever-popular daily tradition of exotic dim sum cuisine. Literally translated, "dim sum" means "to touch the heart." It is also known as "yum char," meaning "to have tea accompanied by a few appetizers." It is actually a full lunch, consisting of an array of dainty and delicious Cantonese-style snacks presented on trolleys by waitresses circulating throughout the dining area, calling out the dish names in Cantonese. Rather than ordering from a menu, you may select directly from the numerous offerings on the various carts.

Because these snacks are often quite rich, hot tea is the preferred beverage to accompany dim sum. The tea should be steeped for 5 minutes before pouring, and, if you want more water, just remove the teapot lid to signal your server.

Typically, dim sum dishes are served in covered bowls, in steamers or on small plates - sometimes on specially heated trolleys. When a waitress approaches, ask her what dishes she offers and, if you wish, have her remove the lids so you can view the contents. Simply indicate the dishes you would like and, after serving you, the waitress will mark it down on your bill.
