Dim sum /ˈdimˈsʌm/ (Chinese: 點心; pinyin: diǎnxīn; Cantonese Yale: dímsām) is a style of Chinese cuisine (particularly Cantonese but also other varieties) prepared as small bite-sized portions of food served in small steamer baskets or on small plates. Dim sum dishes are usually served with tea and together form a full tea brunch. Dim sum traditionally are served as fully cooked, ready-to-serve dishes. In Cantonese teahouses, carts with dim sum will be served around the restaurant for diners to order from without leaving their seats. The Cantonese tradition of having endless cups of tea and dim sum is also called yum cha (飲茶), which means "drink tea" in Cantonese. The unique culinary art dim sum originated with the Cantonese in Guangzhou (or Canton), who over the centuries transformed yum cha from a relaxing respite to a loud and happy dining experience. In Hong Kong, and in most cities and towns in Guangdong province, many restaurants start serving dim sum as early as five in the morning. It is a tradition for the elderly to gather to eat dim sum after morning exercises. For many in southern China, yum cha is treated as a weekend family day. More traditional dim sum restaurants typically serve dim sum until mid-afternoon. However, in modern society, it has become commonplace for restaurants to serve dim sum at dinner time; various dim sum items are even sold as take-out for students and office workers on the go.#yourdreamfood #indianfoodblogger #indianfoodbloggers #soloeats #solotravel #thesoloelitist #thefoodlens #coimbatore #dimsum #lastnightmeal #lovetoeat #foodie #lovetheway #mesmerizing #chinesefood #foodvel pic courtesy: @guru_poetic (at Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu) https://www.instagram.com/p/BoN_Vd6jJKM/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1xg4oxypwww8h

Chop suey is a dish in American Chinese cuisine and other forms of overseas Chinese cuisine, consisting of meat (often chicken, fish, beef, shrimp, or pork) and eggs, cooked quickly with vegetables such as bean sprouts, cabbage, and celery and bound in a starch-thickened sauce. It is typically served with rice but can become the Chinese-American form of chow mein with the addition of stir-fried noodles. Chop suey has become a prominent part of American Chinese cuisine, Filipino cuisine, Canadian Chinese cuisine, German Chinese cuisine, Indian Chinese cuisine, and Polynesian cuisine. In Chinese Indonesian cuisine it is known as cap cai (雜菜, "mixed vegetables") and mainly consists of vegetables. Chop suey is widely believed to have been invented in America by Chinese Americans, but anthropologist E. N. Anderson, a scholar of Chinese food, traces the dish to tsap seui (杂碎, "miscellaneous leftovers"), common in Taishan (Toisan), a county in Guangdong province, the home of many early Chinese immigrants to the United States.Hong Kong doctor Li Shu-fan likewise reported that he knew it in Toisan in the 1890s. The long list of conflicting stories about the origin of chop suey is, in the words of food historian Alan Davidson, "a prime example of culinary mythology" and typical of popular foods. #foodvel #yourdreamfood #indianfoodblogger #indianfoodbloggers #soloeats #solotravel #foodie #foodielife #lovetoeat #indianfoodreview #chopsuey #chinesefood #foodporn #lovefood #foodphotography #foodalcholic pic courtesy: @guru_poetic (at Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu) https://www.instagram.com/p/BoJ9O1xDcCn/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=d4pp565zxvaq

Pain aux raisins or escargot is a spiral pastry often eaten for breakfast in France. Its names translate as raisin bread and snail, respectively. It is a member of the pâtisserie viennoise family of baked foods. In France, it is typically a variant of the croissant or pain au chocolat, made with a leavened butter pastry with raisins added and shaped in a spiral with a crème pâtissière filling. However, in many areas of Northern Europe and North America, it is generally made with sweetened bread dough or brioche dough, rather than pastry. It is often consumed for breakfast as part of a Continental breakfast. #foodvel #yourdreamfood #indianfoodbloggers #indianfoodblogger #soloeats #solotravel #thesoloelitist #foodie #foodielife #lovetoeat #lovetotravel #foodporn #indianfoodreview #yummy pic courtesy: @guru_poetic (at Pondicherry) https://www.instagram.com/p/BntyOetnoxY/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=535t93yx4p61

A taco (/'tä-ko/) is a traditional Mexican dish consisting of a corn or wheat tortilla folded or rolled around a filling. A taco can be made with a variety of fillings, including beef, pork, chicken, seafood, vegetables, and cheese, allowing great versatility and variety. Tacos are generally eaten without utensils, often garnished with salsa, chili pepper, avocado, guacamole, cilantro (coriander), tomatoes, onions, and lettuce. The taco predates the arrival of the Spanish in Mexico. There is anthropological evidence that the indigenous people living in the lake region of the Valley of Mexico traditionally ate tacos filled with small fish. Writing at the time of the Spanish conquistadors, Bernal Díaz del Castillo documented the first taco feast enjoyed by Europeans, a meal which Hernán Cortés arranged for his captains in Coyoacán. #yourdreamfood #indianfoodbloggers #soloeats #solotravel #foodie #bangaloredays😍 #tacobell #thesoloelitist #thefoodielens #borntoeat #travellingforfood #chasingdreams #lovefood #indianfoodie pic courtesy: @guru_poetic (at Bangalore, India) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bnrh-3vno1L/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=d8b00zfby8zu

A standard cupcake uses the same basic ingredients as standard-sized cakes: butter, sugar, eggs, and flour. Nearly any recipe that is suitable for a layer cake can be used to bake cupcakes. The cake batter used for cupcakes may be flavored or have other ingredients stirred in, such as raisins, berries, nuts, or chocolate chips. Because their small size is more efficient for heat conduction, cupcakes bake much faster than a normal layered cake. During baking, the volume of the batter initially increases due to the production of carbon dioxide, then decreases upon cooling due to the release of leavening gases. Cupcakes may be topped with frosting or other cake decorations. They may be filled with frosting, fruit, or pastry cream. For bakers making a small number of filled cupcakes, this is usually accomplished by using a spoon or knife to scoop a small hole in the top of the cupcake. Another method is to just insert the pastry bag in the middle of the cupcake. In commercial bakeries, the filling may be injected using a syringe. Elaborately decorated cupcakes may be made for special occasions. #foodvel #yourdreamfood #indianfoodbloggers #indianfoodblogger #soloeats #solotravel #foodielife #foodie #lovetotravel #foodporn #foodpornography #thesoloelitist #thefoodielens #indianfoodreview #cupcake pic courtesy: @guru_poetic (at Tirupur) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnpxdRRnb5R/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=atn9nfi0frr7

Pizza is a traditional Italian dish consisting of a yeasted flatbread typically topped with tomato sauce and cheese and baked in an oven. It can also be topped with additional vegetables, meats, and condiments, and can be made without cheese. The term pizza was first recorded in the 10th century, in a Latin manuscript from the Southern Italian town of Gaeta in Lazio, on the border with Campania. Modern pizza was invented in Naples, and the dish and its variants have since become popular and common in many areas of the world. In 2009, upon Italy's request, Neapolitan pizza was registered with the European Union as a Traditional Speciality Guaranteed dish. The Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana (True Neapolitan Pizza Association), a non-profit organization founded in 1984 with headquarters in Naples, aims to "promote and protect... the true Neapolitan pizza". Pizza is one of the most popular foods in the world and a common fast food item in Europe and North America. Many independent or chain restaurants, cafes, and fast food outlets offer pizza. Restaurants or chains specializing in pizza are pizzerias. Pizza delivery is common in some parts of the world. Pizza is sold fresh or frozen, either whole or in portions. Various types of ovens are used to cook them and many varieties exist. Several similar dishes are prepared from ingredients commonly used in pizza preparation, such as calzone and stromboli. In the United States, pizza is usually eaten out of hand after dividing into slices from a large pizza or small pizzetta as a whole. In Italy, pizza is eaten with a fork and knife in restaurants, but is also sold to take away and eaten out of hand. Frozen pizza became popular in the late 20th century. #foodvel #foodblog #indianfoodbloggers #indianfoodblogger #soloeats #solotravel #thesoloelitist #thefoodielens #pizzatime #eveningsnack #coimbatore #foodie #foodielife #lovetoeat #travelfreak #yummufood pic courtesy: @guru_poetic (at Tirupur) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnJ20tMA9Qy/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=142eu169lqsr0

Prawn is a common name for small aquatic crustaceans with an exoskeleton and ten legs , some of which can be eaten. The term "prawn"[2] is used particularly in the United Kingdom, Ireland, and Commonwealth nations, for large swimming crustaceans or shrimp, especially those with commercial significance in the fishing industry. Shrimp that fall in this category often belong to the suborder Dendrobranchiata. In North America, the term is used less frequently, typically for freshwater shrimp. The terms shrimp and prawn themselves lack scientific standing. Over the years, the way shrimp and prawn are used has changed, and nowadays the terms are almost interchangeable. In the United Kingdom, prawn is used more commonly on menus than shrimp, while the opposite is the case in the United States. The term prawn also loosely describes any large shrimp, especially those at 15 (or fewer) to the pound (such as king prawns or jumbo shrimp). #yourdreamfood #indianfoodbloggers #indianfoodblogger #soloeats #solotravel #thesoloelitist #thefoodielens #bangalorediaries #hoot #prawns #lovetotravel #foodie #lovetoeat #yummyinmytummy #lovetravel #foodtravel pic courtesy: @guru_poetic (at Pondicherry) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnCKVpLg9GB/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=62dsrglyv58h

A fish fillet, from the French word filet /filɛ/ meaning a thread or strip, is the flesh of a fish which has been cut or sliced away from the bone by cutting lengthwise along one side of the fish parallel to the backbone. In preparation for filleting, any scales on the fish should be removed. The contents of the stomach also need careful detaching from the fillet. Because fish fillets do not contain the larger bones running along the vertebrae, they are often said to be "boneless". However, some species, such as the common carp, have smaller intramuscular bones called pins within the fillet. The skin present on one side may or may not be stripped from the fillet. Butterfly fillets can be produced by cutting the fillets on each side in such a way that they are held together by the flesh and skin of the belly. #foodvel #yourdreamfood #indianfoodblogger #indianfoodbloggers #soloeats #solotravel #thefoodielens #travelforfood #foodielife #foodporn #indianfoodreview #lovefood pic courtesy: @guru_poetic (at Satsanga)
