Dim sum has originated from China while Momo is its tibetan counterpart. In china, you can find people enjoying their tea with small sized dim sums as snacks with it. The literal meaning of Dim sum in Chinese is "touch of heart". There are over thousand varieties of  Dim sums prepared across the world. Even spring rolls are one of its variety.
