This occasionally means people have to rush +back to the office so if you arrive late, you may still be eating when the bill +arrives. + +###### Ordering and eating + +Dim sum is a social meal so sharing food is absolutely encouraged. Be +adventurous in your ordering, pass food around and try a little bit of +everything on the table. + +###### Tea + +Tea is a central part of the dim sum experience. When pouring tea, grasp the +teapot with your right hand and offer to others before filling your own cup, +starting with the person on your left. + +If receiving tea, thank the pourer by tapping your fingers on the table. +[Tradition](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dim_sum#Etiquette) says to use your +index finger if single or index and middle fingers if married or if it's none +of anyone's damn business. + +When the teapot is empty, turn the lid upside down and/or leave it on the side +of the pot, this signals to the waiting staff that it should be refilled. + +###### Dessert + +Don't feel the need to wait until the end of the meal to order sweet dim sum. +It's normal to order and eat 'dessert' dim sum alongside the savoury stuff.
