In addition to satisfy their appetite, it is already a part of life for some people who go to Dim Sum restaurant every day in Hong Kong. In my view, Dim Sum should be the best item to represent Hong Kong culture. It is because Dim Sum exemplify unique characteristic of Hong Kong culture. In the following, I will introduce some of the characteristics of Hong Kong culture.
