Dim Sum has been around forever as a food, but it is relatively new as a world religion. It started when we noticed how people converted to Dim Sum like a man dying of thirst who comes across an oasis with a well of cool clear water. Initially they were cautious about it, but after they tried it, they could not get enough of it.
Then someone said "Hey, this is so like a religion. We could start a cult if we had enough bamboo steamers. We might need some teapots and cups and a large vat of chilli sauce too." Thus, a new world religion was born. Dim Sum is one of the fastest growing world religions, with temples in almost every corner of the globe. Our church operates independent of any Chinese restaurant. Although certain followers of our faith may have their favorites, there is no implied relationship or endorsement. Perhaps at a later time on this website we may include some reviews of restaurants, but we remain separate. This is important for our tax-exempt status, the restaurants are a business, where as we are a non-profit group. Also, as the quality of restaurants change over time, we are not restricted from moving around like a herd of buffalo, looking for the next great waterhole. We don't really have any scriptures in our faith. The closest thing to holy scriptures would be Dim Sum menus. We read from them at the start of services, but when you get good you can order without, or if they have trolleys you can just point to what you like.
Dim Sum menus A huge part of the faith involves outreach and sharing the faith to others. It is quite common for followers to invite friends out for Dim Sum. Their friends then experience a revelation and convert to the one true faith and the cycle continues. If you would like to support our effort, please check out our fund raising section. Is the Church of Dim Sum right for you?

Before long they were cashing in their life savings and selling their first born in order to get more of those tasty treats. It was amazing the praises they would sing of those shrimp dumplings or the deep fried squid. Without fail, they would be waiting outside the restaurant at 10am for it to open, to get their next fix.
Every day millions of people pay homage to delicious food while they yam cha (飲茶, or drink tea). 
Repent, Time is Nigh
Not Really Sure what Nigh Is.
Guess I'll order Pizza
I think you mean order more Ha Gow... I don't want to start some kind of jihad against pizza.
5/20/2008 - PIZZA SPARKS JIHAD IN CHINATOWN
"We are fighting a holy war, I once took out a KFC with an exploding ha gow," he calmly states.
Young men like Wong are common in Chinatown. Being a jihadist is regarded as an adventure that many of the youths here are reluctant to miss. They are armed with Chinese-made dumplings which are easily available. Almost every household has more than one pair of chopsticks.
What is wrong with these people ?
I really feel like giving up, I don't think the waiters are too fond of me. I just feel so guilty. I feel like I betray them, and I bet they have ALOT of people betraying them and that makes me so sad...but i can't seem to change.
Now I feel guilty for feeling guilty. Help!
