There are a lot of people and you need to queue up, but the food inside is really delicious.

When Dian Du De opened in Shanghai Zhonghai Huanyu Hui, there was a scene where people queued for two or three hours to get a meal.

Shanghainese want to know about the elasticity of shrimp dumplings, the caramel aroma of carrot cake, and the rich flavor between teeth and cheeks of boat porridge.

Cantonese-style morning tea is nothing new.

People are familiar with it. They can be seen in Hong Kong movies, Chinese restaurants in five-star hotels, or some artistic works that represent regional culture.

In 2008, in the digital album City Roaming produced by the luxury brand Louis Vuitton, Shu Qi started from the Lu Yu Teahouse in Hong Kong and used her voice to lead the audience on a tour of Hong Kong - after you sit down, the waiter will come up to you and ask, "How many of you are drinking tea?"

"The snacks are placed in front of you, steaming.

In the past, dim sum was only sold in the morning, which also earned it the title of "morning tea".

In fact, this is a strategy used by Cantonese restaurants to fill up their garbage time. They use some dim sum with low unit price to attract uncles and aunts to spend money during non-meal time. If they are lucky, they can also attract them to hold banquets and drinks——

This is the main business of traditional restaurants.

But Diantu De chooses the all-day tea market.

"Nowadays, people consume dim sum more casually," explained Shen Zhihui, the current owner of Diand Dode. This post-80s owner, who has studied abroad, understands today's people's daily schedules very well.

"Maybe I suddenly want to eat something after getting off the plane, maybe I want to have some snacks after sleeping until the afternoon." Moreover, people today are increasingly reluctant to have a serious meal. There are many types of snacks and small portions, which also attract people to eat during the meal.
