How To Delight Your Palate And Stomach With Chinese Cuisine

By Joseph Kennedy


Food is the primary basic need of man. To this end, the early inhabitants that populated this planet spent much of their time in securing this basic necessity. They had to master the art of escape and evasion to avoid the other creatures that it had to compete with. Nowadays the modern man does not need to do this anymore. All he needs to avoid is getting hungry which can easily be relieved at dim sum international buffet Los Angeles CA.

When families in ancient times joined together, they formed what is now known as tribes. A tribal leader would naturally emerge to lead this group. At this point in human history, the tribes were hunters and gatherers. Their main sustenance came from the fruits, plants, and berries that were gathered and meat from hunted animals, mostly of the smaller species.

With fire being discovered and mastered, the way in which human ate became a little bit more sophisticated. The art of cooking was slowly gaining ground as people began experimenting with different food mixtures including spices and herbs. This led to the great search for the spice islands which occurred the age of voyages and exploration.

The various regions of the world play host to different species of plant and animal life. This greatly impacted their preference for certain types of nutrition which can be seen in their staple food. Different parts of the planet have unique flora and fauna which can only survive well in that area. It follows that population in that locality will acquire the taste for what is abundantly available.

It is not really scientific but one can easily deduce that Asians love rice and are very much prone to including spices in their cuisine. Europeans and Americans who are really cousins are inclined to eating bread baked from wheat and other pastries. Africans who live in arid deserts prefer tapioca, tubers, fruits, and vegetables. It is just a generalization.

One particular region in China came up with the idea of serving unlimited tea together other small in quantity dishes that were common to the place. This was called yum cha. This was intended not as a meal but as a go between breakfast and lunch but could not also be classified as a snack. It is sometimes referred to as brunch, a shortcut term for breakfast and lunch.

This gained popularity in the United States during the great Chinese migrations during the industrial age when these were employed as railroad workers. These groups eventually settle down in communities that are better known as little China or Chinatown. This practice of serving to with small quantities of food later came to be known as dim sum.

In most dim sum houses a customer need not stand up to make his order. They can just stay at the table and a server with a cart of different servings will just approach the diner who will then make his choices. Dim sum restaurants offer several kinds of dishes like wontons, dumplings, Peking duck, and steamed meat rolls. The unlimited tea has largely been replaced with assorted beverages.

People are always adventurous, and more so when it comes to something that will delight the stomach and taste buds. These physical organs connive with each other to push a man into eating something that is strange to them like unfamiliar cuisine. But as territorial barriers are slowly being removed, cross cultural cuisine is now becoming more and more popular.
