Yum cha is a Cantonese term meaning "drink tea'. It pertains to eating different foods in small servings whilst drinking Chinese tea. Here in England the word “Dim sum” is often used as the name for Yum cha.
Dim sum are usually served in the mornings till noon. But at our favourite Chinese restaurant here in Southampton (the Dragon Palace) they serve them from noon to 6pm. This works well for me as I go there as a treat whenever I work Sundays (I work till 5pm every 10 weeks).
These are what we ordered. I'll order different dim sum next time and will post more photos then.
