I'm having trouble figuring out exactly what the difference between Yum Cha and Dim Sum is. Basically my work mate and I were trying to think of the name for Chinese tapas type dining, she thought it was yum cha, and I thought it was dim sum, on google it's hard to find an actual explaination of the difference.
Does anyone know?
What's the difference between Yum Cha and Dim Sum?

Dim Sum refers to the whole variety of small dishes of steamed buns, steamed rice flour rolls, roasted meats and congee. Whereas, Yum Cha (tea drinking) refers the whole proccess of eating Dim Sum and drinking tea during breakfast, brunch or afternoon tea.

The previous answers are correct. Yum cha means to drink tea and Dim Sum (literally "a small piece of the heart") refers to the food items (e.g. har gow, shiu mai, char siu bao, etc). Practically speaking, the terms are interchangable. Going out for Yum cha and going out for Dim Sum are the same.

I know, totally. I went over to UK and wanted to try out a new resturant because in Australia we always have Yum Cha. Then we see the food menu and realise Dim Sum is exactly the same!

In that context, they are the same.
"Yum Cha" means to drink tea. Usually people go to teahouses to drink tea (like the Brits going high-tea). Teahouses serve little snacks, called "Dim Sum".
