Dim sums, of course, owe their origin to trade on the silk route. Like restaurants that sprung up in medieval France to provide a break to weary traders on the road for days at end and the tapas culture in Spain that took route when inns started providing a piece of bread with wine to travellers, dim sums too were early refreshments fashioned by teahouses for tired patrons.

By Anoothi Vishal
Connaught Place may not be the poshest business district in Delhi any longer, but nothing can beat the sense of nostalgia and glimpses of its old world charm— no, not even the traffic sometimes!
I like CP, despite the nightmarish parking.

Unlike the “family-style”, Indian-Chinese places of yore, this is an anti café with nothing stereotypical about it.

Bye, bye McDonald’s-type positioning…
Whatever we may say about Indian-Chinese, it’s a genre that has spread far and wide. In Hong Kong recently, while we feasted on an enviable spread of dim sums for breakfast and had the chef ladle out healthy hot pots of noodles — with a choice of veggies and meats — that seems to be everyone’s favoured main meal in China, I was surprised to discover the co-existence of “fried noodles” on buffet spreads.
