Dimsum Lounge

Many years ago I went visiting to a chinese restaurant in downtown beijing. Here in this restaurant where no one else was from the outside world I asked to be shown the menu. Once, they served the menu, I pointed to the words "Dimsum" to the waiter. He bowed his head and dissappeared.
What he brought in was a collection of dumplings made of rice and steamed in a steamer. As I took a bite of it, I realized it contained meat, vegetables and sweet bean paste. A dimsum is a steamed dumpling of rice filled with meat, vegetables or sweet bean paste. It is steamed in a steamer.
