Tour Series: Dim Sum and Then Some
Embark on the savory and sweet bites of dim sum as we celebrate the Lunar New Year — a time of renewal, family gatherings, and wishes for prosperity. Dim sum’s origins trace back centuries to the tea houses of southern China, where travelers and locals gathered to share small, flavorful dishes alongside steaming pots of tea. Over time this practice evolved into a beloved culinary ritual, passed down through generations and carried around the world by diasporic communities.
We invite you to join this delightful journey: from delicate dumplings and silk-soft steamed buns to succulent roasted duck and flaky pastries. Each bite is crafted to honor tradition and bring people together. Dumplings symbolize wealth and good fortune; sticky rice cakes promise growth and success; round buns and pastries reflect unity and reunion. Together these plates form a tapestry of flavors—savory, sweet, gingery, and umami-rich—that tell stories of home, celebration, and continuity.
Registration includes tour and a sampling dim sum. Carpool or meet at Asian Times Square.
