The history of Har Gow dates back to the early 20th century in Guangzhou (Canton), the heartland of Dim Sum culture. It is believed to have originated in teahouses near the Pearl River, where shrimp was plentiful. Local chefs wanted to showcase the freshness of seafood in a refined and elegant way. The dish quickly became a favorite during yum cha (tea drinking sessions), symbolizing prosperity and joy, since the word for shrimp (haa in Cantonese) sounds like laughter. Over time, Har Gow became a staple in every Dim Sum restaurant and was elevated to one of the “Four Heavenly Kings of Dim Sum” (alongside Siu Mai, BBQ Pork Buns, and Egg Tarts).
