Some estimates claim that there are at least two thousand types of dim sum in total across China, and about forty to fifty types are commonly sold outside of China. But that is not the case with Cantonese dim sum, which has developed into a separate branch of cuisine.
In fact, the cookbooks of most Chinese food cultures tend to lump their own variations on dim sum dishes with other local snacks.
There are over one thousand dim sum dishes originating from Guangdong alone, a total that no other area in China comes even close to matching. Cantonese dim sum has a very broad range of flavors, textures, cooking styles, and ingredients, and can be classified into regular items, seasonal offerings, weekly specials, banquet dishes, holiday dishes, house signature dishes, travel-friendly items, as well as breakfast or lunch foods and late-night snacks. As dim sum continued to develop, chefs introduced influences and traditions from other regions of China. Cantonese dim sum was originally based on local foods. Cantonese dim sum culture developed rapidly during the latter half of the nineteenth century in Guangzhou. The practice of having tea with dim sum eventually evolved into the modern " yum cha". Teahouse owners gradually added various snacks called dim sum to their offerings. The second is dim sum, which translates literally to "touch the heart", the term used to designate the small food items that accompanied the tea. This refers to the custom of serving teahouse customers two delicately made food items, savory or sweet, to complement their tea. The first is " jat zung loeng gin" ( Chinese: 一盅兩件), which translates literally as "one cup, two pieces". " Yum cha" includes two related concepts. In the tenth century, when the city of Canton (Guangzhou) began to experience an increase in commercial travel, many frequented teahouses for small-portion meals with tea called " yum cha" ( brunch). Most modern dim sum dishes are commonly associated with Cantonese cuisine, although dim sum dishes also exist in other Chinese cuisines. The bill is $355 for the 16 of us in two tables and it works out to about $22/- per person.Dim sum ( traditional Chinese: 點心 simplified Chinese: 点心 pinyin: diǎn xīn Jyutping: dim2 sam1) is a large range of small Cantonese dishes that are traditionally enjoyed in restaurants for brunch. We have a hearty conversation among ourselves in the restaurant and I think the service provided is undeniably good. While the monosodium and sodium content in most Chinese dishes are high, I found the dishes here not really salty and that is good. The pork buns were fluffy and the char siew paste well cooked. The `siew mai' pork and shrimp dumplings were `juicy' and flavorful. Of the dishes, I particularly like the chicken feet meat which is very tender and soft. I remember I ever tasted dim sum in a coffee shop in Penang where the meat seem to be cold and stale appeared to be just out from the refrigerator. I personally find the dim sum delicacies `freshly baked' without any `refrigerator' smell.
YAN PALACE DIM SUM MENU PLUS
I think there must be plus factors that attracted them here. I also met my grassroots patrons and neighbors at the restaurant who came here with their colleagues to have their lunch. They were also all very well-attired and presentable. The supervisor was quick to take orders and made good suggestions for the food. Our cups of tea were also topped up almost instantly. The service was prompt and the waitresses removed our empty plates almost immediately. The ambience in the restaurant is conducive for a dim sum chit chat session over cups of Chinese tea.

Parking is free and the restaurant is located at the second floor of the clubhouse of Warren Golf & Country Club. This is not the first time I came to this restaurant. The 16 of us went to the restaurant for a farewell lunch for our colleague who will be transferred to another unit.
