3.3 Yum Cha

A Chinese custom of yum cha ( , Cantonese for "drinking tea") denotes a light meal served in middle afternoon from 2pm to 6pm.

Afternoon tea is common, although not a meal served daily. The food taken consists of some light meals or "snacks"such as sandwiches, toast, French toast, and even a mini meal served together with milk tea, coffee, lemon teas for Western style food and Chinese tea for Chinese style food.
