- The dim sum lasted the whole day. Vegetarian version of dim sum is challenging, but everything turned out nice and interesting. The meal started with "sake" part in the garden tea house, continued with the main part in the dinning area, and finished with "Kong-fu tea" part back in the tea house surrounded by bamboo lit by evening lights.
