Additional Information

Are you a foodie? Have you tried traditional Cantonese dim sum–the small plate experience, the chopsticks, the steam-heated carts, the stacked steamer baskets, the lively conversations? The Tea!

Perhaps you’ve never had the opportunity to learn the immense history involved with dim sum from a Cantonese-American guide (dim sum = “to touch the heart!”).

This is your chance to enjoy a truly unique dining experience. We’ll brunch on Cantonese-style dim sum, served fresh from traditional push-carts & steamer baskets. You’ll learn about dim sum’s Silk Road roots, flavorful teas, and traditional Southern Chinese etiquette. You’ll pick and choose a variety of classic dim sum specialties like barbecue pork buns, rice crepes, and egg tarts–and become touched by the heart!

After the meal, enjoy a walking tour (sunscreen recommended) through the Asian Cultural District of San Diego and end at a popular Asian supermarket for some quick shopping.

Are you ready for the Wild East of dim sum?

Great food and great company - Albert provided a wonderful experience of Dim Sum. He explained the cultural traditions of eating Dim Sum and its origins. All and all it was a great experience and I would do it again with Albert. After our meal, we walked to an Asian Market and saw various foods used by various cultures. I highly recommend this tour!
