Vancouver Trip Overview
Dim Sum, which means “Point of the Heart”, lives up to its name in Vancouver, BC’s historic Chinatown. Originally a Cantonese family tradition (sometimes called Yum Cha (drink tea)) with small, shared dishes, often served in bamboo steamers, Dim Sum has become a staple for foodies in the lower mainland and all over the world.
Let our knowledgeable and entertaining guides take you on a Vancouver food tour adventure to some of our favourite hidden gems where you will sample dishes like Har-Gow (delicious steamed shrimp dumplings, packed with flavour), Char Sui (white and fluffy steam buns stuffed with BBQ pork or vegetables), Xiao Long Bao (steamed dumpling with pork and broth filling (think inside out wonton)), and sweet egg tarts to top it all off.
Visit the largest Chinatown in Canada on a walking food tour, learn about the rich history and culture, fill your belly with amazing food, and have a great time doing it.
