"Yum cha" is a Chinese style morning or afternoon tea, which involves drinking Chinese tea and eating dim sum dishes. "Yum cha" in Cantonese literally means "drink tea".
In the US and UK, the phrase dim sum is often used in place of yum cha; in Cantonese, "dim sum" (點心) refers to the wide range of small dishes, whereas yum cha, or "drinking tea", refers to the entire meal.
In France, if you always like to order "Ha-Kow" or "Siu-Maï" from the Traiteur Chinois near your work place or home, you will realise you are really eating very lousy knock-offs versions of what the real thing should be!!
Anyways, to cut the long story short, if you are in Chinatown, Singapore, you will not regret if you turn up at the Yum Cha Restaurant from 15H - 17H for their Ala-carte buffet lunch - all you can eat dim sum dishes!! Even as a local, I find their dim sums excellent and they have a huge variety to choose from, the only regret I always have every time is I don't have a tummy big enough to eat everything I like.
