As in most parts of the world, Sundays are meant for family time. And family and Sunday in Hong Kong mean Dim Sum.
Dim Sum can best be described in my opinion as a giant picnic lunch free-for-all. Most of these resturants have multiple levels of seating(4 to 6) with more than a thousand seats per level. Think about the biggest wedding reception you've ever attended and multiply is 5X! CROWED!
While the noise level may rival major sporting events and concerts in the United States, there is an orderly fashion about Dim Sum. Everyone seems to get their food choices pretty efficiently.
Now the menu consists of BBQ pork buns, prawn(shrimp) dumplings, chicken feet, and lots of items that the mention of would make Westerners go hungry quick. But in this part of the world, it's more about family than the food!
