Food Culture

In Hong Kong–style teahouses, Dim Sum is the most popular category on the menu. Steamed, fried, or boiled, these bite-sized dishes have evolved into a variety of signature classics. Among them, “Har Gow” (shrimp dumplings) are a must-order at every table, featuring translucent crystal-like wrappers and a pleasantly springy texture that diners love. In France, Dim Sum is especially popular in Paris, where many renowned restaurants such as Yoom, DimDimSum, and Le Lys d’Or offer modern or creative interpretations. Some businesses have also launched frozen Dim Sum products available on e-commerce platforms, allowing consumers to enjoy them at home and gradually integrating the tea house culture into the local dining scene. As France places great importance on food and wine pairings, Dim Sum restaurants in the country also incorporate alcoholic beverages, creating a new generation of dining experiences.

In France’s chain supermarkets and Asian grocery stores, such as Carrefour, Auchan, and Epiceries, frozen Har Gow can be easily found. To make this delicacy accessible to vegetarians, some producers also offer vegetarian versions, using tofu or vegetables as fillings that taste just as delicious when paired with sauces. With the growing popularity and diversification of Dim Sum in France, Har Gow has become not only a symbol of cultural exchange but also a reflection of significant market potential and business opportunities.
