Served throughout the daylight hours seven days a week, dim sum (literally meaning "to touch the heart") are snacks of freshly-steamed or fried Chinese "canapés". These remarkably-diverse examples of culinary innovation feature many different ingredients. There are scores of different varieties, though the daily selection will always include steamed shrimp dumplings (har gau), steamed pork and shrimp dumplings (siu mai), deep-fried spring rolls (tsun quen) and steamed barbecued pork buns (cha siu bau).

Don't pass up the chance to try dim sum desserts: "Thousand-layer sweet cake with egg topping" (chien chang go), a piece of flaky sweetness; mai chi or coconut snowballs; or daan sarn, the crisp and sticky sweet cakes topped with almonds - all for the sweet-toothed.

Servers wheel their trolleys through the bustling restaurant and are happy to allow customers to lift up the lids of the bamboo baskets to identify the contents. The baskets or plates (containing two, three or four pieces) are inexpensive, enabling visitors to enjoy a diverse and speedy meal. Dim Sum is a Cantonese specialty of the Ruby Rouge restaurant and our cooks are highly-regarded specialists.
