When summer arrives in Maryland, many of us crave lighter, more refreshing meals that nourish the body without weighing us down. In Cantonese culture, wellness and balance are at the heart of every dish—and nowhere is this more beautifully reflected than in the tradition of dim sum.
At Han Spot, we take this philosophy seriously. Known as one of the best dim sum restaurants in Gaithersburg—and arguably the best Cantonese restaurant in Maryland—we’re here to help you enjoy dim sum in a way that’s both satisfying and health-conscious.
🌿 The Art of Summer Wellness, Cantonese-Style
Cantonese people are known for their attention to health, especially during the changing seasons. In the summertime, that means choosing foods that are light, cooling, and easy to digest.
Here are a few of our favorite Han Spot dim sum dishes that are perfect for summer:
- Har Gow (Shrimp Dumplings) – Delicate, crystal-skinned dumplings filled with fresh shrimp. High in protein and naturally low in fat, it’s a classic that’s as nourishing as it is delicious.
- Steamed Beef Balls with Bean Curd Skin – A lean source of iron and protein, these are light but satisfying, and wrapped in tofu skin to aid digestion.
- Chicken Feet in Black Bean Sauce – A traditional favorite rich in collagen. While flavorful, it’s steamed, not fried—keeping it lighter for warm weather.
- Tofu Skin Rolls (Steamed) – Made with mushrooms and vegetables, this dish is packed with plant-based goodness and umami, without being heavy.
- Century Egg & Lean Pork Congee – Smooth, easy on the stomach, and comforting without being greasy—ideal for summer days when your appetite is low but you still want something warm and nourishing.
🍵 Don’t Forget the Tea
No dim sum experience is complete without tea. In the summer, herbal teas like chrysanthemum or our custom house wellness tea are especially popular. They help cool the body, support digestion, and balance internal heat.
At Han Spot Dim Sum, we offer a variety of teas that complement your dim sum beautifully—ask our staff for a recommendation based on your taste and your wellness goals.
