Dim Sum has been widely used in the Western world, although you can trace its roots way back hundreds of years ago, even during the time of the famous Silk Road. Today, it’s a treat enjoyed by families and friends, purely authentic or not. Speaking of “authentic”, it’s really not technically authentic if it’s not made in the place where it originated. Going back to the main topic, dim sum is something that’s usually ordered whenever anyone decided to eat out at a Chinese restaurant.
