What a classical morning tea in GZ! As a GZ citizen, I can confirm that your new friend is very professional in GZ culture, you two are lucky.
Dim Sum means touch of heart in translation. Basically it means you eat a variety of little or very small portion of delicious set of dishes instead of a course of meal as you would in normal restaurants. That's also what the emperor eats during Qing dynasty and you would find some of those history in Beijing. @15:40 She was wrong about such term being "popularized by Chinatowns in the West" (unless she considers Hong Kong as part of the West which it isn't/wasn't lol...) as it is just the way it was meant that got twisted/misunderstood overseas. So in Cantonese, they will say going to "Yum Cha" (which means to drink hot tea) instead of going to "Dim Sum." But those small dishes you order are all Dim Sum dishes that most people going to "Yum Cha" would do/eat/order. And the reason you "Yum Cha" is actually for health benefit that is to get rid of the oily elements from the Dim Sum dishes apart from the tea drinking cultural aspects. I hope that make sense to you guys.
Yes, there are several interpretations or understandings as to the origin of tea drinking,, snacks and foods. And the combination of these. However, I preferred to see that tea drinking is a thing in many parts of China. For travelers, road side tea stalks or tea house served many necessary functions, like resting, rehydrates, looking for directions, local informations and community interactions.
Tea stalks, or tea house, would of course develop and expand their product line to foods. And depends on the location and the vision of the owner, determines what kind and how broad the food variety will be. From breads, noodles, snacks to eventually a full meal. Cantonese use dim sum as an umbrella name for foods served in a tea house. Make sense.
So, basically, drinking tea and eating dim sum generally goes together and could be enjoyed around the clock, anytime you deem favourable.
Sidenote drinking strong tea is deemed not favourable at certain times (not before going to bed) as well as some people (weak digestion or sick). One can always drink warm water, and referred to your Chinese family doctor or elders for directions.

So glad the two of you found a local guide to take you to try dim sum, which means 'touch the heart' in Chinese. These small portions of dishes allow you to try so many varities of delicately prepared "snack food".
She took you to an old traditional "yum cha" (drink tea) restaurant that serves dim sum. Looks like you had ha gao (shrimp dumling), shumai (shrimp and ground pork dumpling), chicken feet, pork ribs, shrimp in rice noodle roll, and spongy cake. These are very basic varieties.
There are so many more varieties of these small dishes to try. But it is great to see you enjoying your first yum cha dim sum experience!

This girl is the real local Cantonese 🎉🎉
Older generation (especially in HK) reference to YumCha (morning tea) as 一盅兩件 （One pot if tea and 2 dishes) because literally they just have tea (with unlimited hot water refill) and 2 dim sum dishes, reading their newspaper and can spend the entire morning in the restaurant. Many even being along and show off their birds (in cages) and exchange experiences. It was a very relaxing lifestyle.
very interesting!
Yup, my grandpa used to take me to YumCha when I was little in Hong Kong in the 70s. Seeing all the uncles have their birdcages hanging by the windows. I wonder if you have ever been this one, 油麻地"一定好茶樓".

I am Hong Kong Cantonese, my understanding of the word DimSum is the collection of small plates that we usually order when we do ‘yam-cha’. Dumplings are one of the major kinds, but we also have cakes, steamed buns, fired food, even desserts.

For a Cantonese like me, Dim Sum or Yum Cha is our Cantonese version of brunch. On a typical weekend, the grandma of a family will go to a Yum Cha place and get a big table very early. Then all the aunties, uncles and youngsters of the family join and spend all morning & noon together drinking tea and eating all kinds of dim sum. It's really a cultural thing! On a weekday, it's usually the elderly who can have time for Yum Cha. My grandma used to go YumCha every morning and play MaJong game with her neighbour afterwards. It's not uncommon as well!
我是湖南人，我在广东工作了十年了，广东的早茶是我一直能坚持下来的主要原因！便宜实惠，很健康美味！周末的时候我可以早上九点一直吃到中午十二点！
The reason why savory food is also part of dim sum is that they are all served in small portions. We eat them while drinking tea or having breakfast, but never for dinner.

We’ve had dimsum many times in Canada before, but this is the first time we learned how to do it properly. Thank you for sharing such an authentic cultural experience! 😊
the English word "dim sum" is a homophonetic of the Cantonese word (点心). If the same word is spoken in the Mandarin, i would take it as pastry esp. sweet shortening delicacies.
FINALLY, this is the first time you have a real Chinese food. The called street food do not represent any Chinese food culture at all and actually most Chinese do not eat street food. Many traditional Chinese restaurants are located in the big malls, you can always find restaurants at the top floors and the B1 underground floor in a mall.
street food CAN represent Chinese culture, we have so many and diversity of street food, South Korean steal one or two things like Tanghulu it soon become popular
TangHulu is a manchurian snack so I can understand why it is familiar for Koreans.
Including the two of you, many Chinese viewers get quite anxious when they see RUclips vloggers in China eating noodles, rice bowls, buns, dumplings, and other fast food and street snacks every day. Many people want to introduce you to proper restaurants and dining options, which are also economical and delicious. The luckiest ones are those who have gourmet viewers guiding them on a food adventure. Thanks to the guest who appeared in the video. I hope you enjoy your meals.

Dim sum(Cantonese word in English)=foods ppl usually have during 饮茶Yamcha（Cantonese word, means drink tea）
点心(Dim sum in Cantonese)=点心(diǎn xīn in Mandarin)=small, bite-sized snacks or pastries.
In Mandarin Chinese, "点心" (diǎn xīn) generally refers to various snacks or pastries, which can be either sweet or savory. These snacks are typically small in size and meant to be eaten between meals, similar to desserts or snacks in Western culture. Common "点心" include mooncakes, egg tarts, youtiao (fried dough sticks), and steamed buns. They can be enjoyed as breakfast, afternoon tea, or snacks.
In summary, in Mandarin, "点心" (diǎn xīn) refers to a variety of convenient small foods without being limited to any specific culinary style or taste.
On the other hand, in Cantonese, "点心（dim sum）" refers to a type of Chinese cuisine, consisting of various small, bite-sized dishes traditionally served in small steamer baskets or on small plates. The term "dim sum" in English translates to "touch the heart," indicating that these dishes are meant to be enjoyed leisurely, usually shared with family and friends. Dim sum is typically eaten during brunch hours and includes a range of savory and sweet items such as dumplings, buns, rolls, and pastries. The practice of eating dim sum is closely associated with the tradition of drinking tea, known as "yum cha."
However, this specific distinction in meaning only exists in English and other Western languages. For Chinese people, the meaning of "点心" in both Cantonese and Mandarin is essentially the same, as the small dishes enjoyed during yum cha are also called "点心(dim sum)." As the lady guest mentioned, this is entirely part of the yum cha culture, where the original meaning has been projected onto a related term in English.
You pronounced 烧卖 perfectly 😂❤
😂❤️❤️❤️❤️
In Cantonese!😊
Cantonese cuisine is famous for its fresh ingredients and light taste.Every place in China has its own unique delicacy culture.Have fun.Love from Wuhan,China❤
In most places in China, dim sum is made of rice noodles, etc. This girl tells it very well and clearly😊
Southern China has rice, moving north other cereals prevail. And thus, foods and dishes vary without saying.
Dim Sum refers is a much older term for small snacks ord dish that accompany drinking tea back in the old tea house. It goes back centuries probably back to Tang or Song. As time goes buy especially in the Guangzhou region, the tea house evolve into "Cha Lau" which is more like a restaurants. I am pretty sure its origin is not from Chinatown since we use the term in Hong Kong.
You two are so funny in this video hahaha. Church of dim sum, LOL
🫶🏼😂
It's one truely Chinese GuangDong Zao Cha, nice guide!
Zao Cha means morning tea meal in GuangDong.
Cantonese here 🙋🏻♀️ want to give a clear definition of dim sum: It literally means "touch the heart", the term used to designate the small food items that accompanied the tea (yum cha). I feel the term dim sum is a bit similar to the Spanish tapas
OMG這幫外國人終於知道要怎麼在中國吃到好吃的了，太好了！這才是在中國正確的吃飯方式！🎉

Thank you for introducing Vivian. I am a Chinese born in Malaysia and couldn't read chinese or speak Cantonese or fluent in Mandarin. It is helpful to get a local guide. Hope you enjoyed all the delicious food. Australian Chinese calls it Yum cha as well
"Dim Sum" is like a category, just like how we categorize cakes, chocolates, ice cream etc. as desserts. "Yum Cha" is just a word for the activity of eating dim sum and drinking tea at a Cha Lau (the dim sum restaurant), "we'll go Yum Cha" is just like a phase for "let's have brunch".

It never goes wrong when a local takes you for a culinary, she speaks such a fluent American accent English too. Dim Sum (點心) which translates literally means “Touch heart” . The small portions were designed to merely touch the heart not sate the appetite, and as such were first enjoyed as snacks,
Over time, however, yum cha ( Drink tea )has evolved, and the cuisine is now a vital part of Chinese culture. Enjoy it ❤
❤️❤️❤️
Very authentic dim sum! I really miss the Cantonese speaking environment 😀
Wow. I’m proud of you guys. You guys are literally contributing to the prevention of WW3 from happening. Peace is something we make!
❤️
The couple is so cute
Guangdong table manner, washing everything.
Same in HK too
I've been following you all and enjoy your truthful and unbiased views of China
I'm a 3 rd generation Singaporean Chinese and is also Cantonese [ both my Mum & Dad are Cantonese. My dad is Taishanese ie like Cantonese Version 1.0 🤣 ]
The lady your informal host speaks excellent Cantonese and English.
I've visited China many times
Some My favourite Dim Sum is prawn dumpling, carrot / radish cakes etc etc.....
Guangzhou dim sum and food is always good [ Fresh , good value and economically priced ] !
Guangzhou food are one of the iconic foods of China which is also very suitable for foreigners as starters to try Chinese food as it would be less overpowering on the spice and chilli .
Many Cantonese men and women are also good cooks as enjoying good food and cooking good food runs in the family
Danke & Enjoy !
粤菜讲究的是食材本来的味道，所以一般很少用酱料。这样才能保持食材的原汁原味。
这期属实是让我这个只去过广东一次（bussiness trip）的人都大开眼界了！真棒！感觉我那次去广东真是白去了😂
5 of these dim sum, for me the best is Siu Mai, the second is red rice rolls, the third is steamed pork ribs, the fourth is shrimp dumplings, and the fifth is chicken feet.
You guys are really experiencing a traditional morning tea life of local Guangzhou'ese...and your friend led you to a good choice of restaurant. Enjoy the "casual" Guangzhou life.
Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
On a recent visit of my two nephews from New Zealand to a dimsum restaurant in Saikong西貢, Hong Kong i start by explaining the same cleansing ritual to them, i never did that before. This said "ritual" is prevailing only this 20-30 years and i dont recall anything similar in the early years of my life inHK from the 1960s-90s! Watching this episode i suddenly realised this "cleansing" ritual could largely borrow from the Fukien (or other privince) tea ceremony which typucally have such similar procedure of pouring boiled water from one utencil to the other to remove unnecessary remains/possible contaminants of other tea types!
Tea house (茶樓) is the place where man gathered for tea and breakfast (一盅兩件), bringing their birds and social with folks.
The tea drinking utensil is 茶盅, that brew tea for yourself, usually one or two serves (cups). Tea pots are only for the general publics, who don't know or care too much ab6tea.
Luke and Naomi are really polite and well behaved, and always give positive responses whether you really like the food or not. I wish you feel happy everyday in China.Love you guys!
哈哈，你们尝试了鸡爪😂，你们真的很厉害！GREAT!
I came across a re-post of your video on Bilibili, and it was very refreshing to see China through the eyes of a foreign friend, without any distortion of the facts. Especially when you were eating Chinese food, I felt quite anxious for you... I really wanted to teach you how to eat it properly, haha.
Welcome to GZ🎉 Great video, but I still have something more to say about the hand tapping ceremony. The girl introduced in the video belongs to the younger generation thanking the elders; To express gratitude among peers is to strike the table between the middle and index fingers; To express gratitude to younger generations, elders only need to tap the table with the fingertips of their middle or index fingers. So there are three situations in total, hoping to help you understand more about Chinese culture.😊
Find watching your videos very relaxing and like im there with you on your days journey. The filming and descriptions are excellent and you're both so natural and open to new experiences ❤️ loved this video, so interesting. Well done😢
Dim Sum breakfast is my favor. I like mince beef wrap around inside rice noodle topped with favor soy sauce. Enjoy your stay. I will visit Hong Kong, Guangzhou, other southern cities. In Chinese, They do not use knife and fork, but give you chop stick; but you can ask for it.
你可以自带刀叉用餐的😁
Dim sum include a varieties of Cantonese small dishes, like Spanish tapas.
