A Timeless Culinary Journey: The History of Dim Sum

Dim sum is one of China’s most enduring culinary traditions, shaped through centuries of shared rituals, shifting cultures, and the simple pleasure of gathering over warm tea and small plates. At Jade River Chinese Restaurant, Pullman Ciawi Vimala Hills, this heritage is approached with a fresh perspective, thoughtfully prepared each morning and served in a space designed for connection.

Dim Sum in History: From Teahouses to Today’s Tables

More than two thousand years ago, travellers along the Silk Road paused in teahouses to restore their energy. Warm tea was the starting point; small dishes soon followed. These dishes evolved into what we know as dim sum, translated as “touching the heart”, a reminder of its purpose: to offer comfort without excess.

During the Tang Dynasty, tea culture flourished, and yum cha became a fixture of social life in Southern China, particularly in Guangzhou. What began as a simple resting ritual transformed into a culinary craft, branching into hundreds of variations, steamed dumplings, siu mai, airy bao, and more, each shaped by regional traditions and family recipes.

Dim sum continues to bring people together today, turning weekend mornings into moments of shared warmth. And it is from this rich story, of travel, tea, craftsmanship, and connection, that Jade River draws its inspiration.

Cantonese Craft with Meaning

Each dim sum dish expresses technique, purpose, and cultural memory. Translucent dumpling skins are precisely shaped, balanced fillings reveal layers of flavor, and warm Bao symbolizes the comfort of communal dining.

At Jade River, these traditions are reinterpreted through a Pullman lens, rooted in heritage yet open to fresh creativity and modern refinement.
