Drinking Tea Eating Rice

Drinking Tea Eating Rice is a contemporary Chinese restaurant that has elevated dim sum dining in Bangkok. Located in EmQuartier's Glass Quartier, the restaurant combines traditional Cantonese cuisine with modern presentation in a sleek, sophisticated setting.

The restaurant's name comes from the Cantonese expression "yum cha" - literally "drinking tea" - the tradition of gathering with family and friends over tea and dim sum. Here, that tradition is honored with meticulous attention to quality while embracing contemporary aesthetics.

The dim sum menu is extensive, featuring both classics and creative innovations. Each piece is crafted with precision, from the delicate har gow with translucent wrappers to the fluffy char siu bao. The kitchen also excels at wok-fried dishes, roasted meats, and comforting congee.

Beyond the food, the restaurant impresses with its stylish interior - think dark woods, Chinese design elements, and elegant lighting. It's upscale enough for business lunches and special occasions but relaxed enough for casual dim sum sessions with friends. Service is attentive without being intrusive, completing an overall polished experience.
