King Chef Dimsum Kitchen: Serving Up a Feast for Kings on Dim Sum Carts

“Dim Sum” comes from the Cantonese term “Tim Sam,” which means “appetizer,” or quite literally, “touch the heart.” So just by how these tasty, chunky, and delicious morsels are called, going on a dim sum adventure promises hearty excitement, especially when dim sum carts proudly make their way to your table with steamy dishes that come straight out of the hot kitchen. It’s this dining experience that King Chef Dimsum Kitchen Baguio specializes in, making it one of the best spots for certified dim sum fanatics and culinary enthusiasts.

Considered the most popular Chinese food, Cantonese cuisine (Yue cuisine), is distinct because of its lightly-cooked fresh vegetables, meat, and sauces that highlight mild, fresh, sweet, and natural flavors. When it comes to cooking, the goal is to preserve the original flavor of the ingredients – something that King Chef does right every single time.
