what is dim suM?

The term “dim sum” (點心) translates as “touch the heart,” originally describing light snacks meant to please without overwhelming during tea. Today, it refers to a wide array of items—steamed dumplings, buns, rolls, and confections—served in succession and meant to be shared. At GEM Cuisine, dim sum is more than technique; it is a medium of expression. Each dish embodies precision, history, and intention. “Touch the heart” is not sentiment—it is architecture: compact, layered, and complete. GEM Cuisine operationalizes this tradition through disciplined craft and cultural continuity, delivering an experience defined by clarity, structure, and shared meaning.
