If you have you a sweet tooth: Opt for sweeter Dim Sum like Char Siew Bao (Char Siew buns), Egg Tarts, Sesame balls, Liu Sha Bao (salted egg yolk bun) and Taro Cakes (yam cake) - these dishes are packed with both sweet and savoury flavours to give diners a real treat! They are great for desserts and light bites to satisfy your Dim Sum cravings.

If you are ravenous: Try Hor Yip Fun (glutinous rice in lotus leaf), Har Gao (steamed prawn dumplings), Siew Mai, Chee Cheong Fan (rice rolls with soya sauce), Xiao Long Bao (dragon dumpling). If you like your meals with a bit more spice, dip your Dim Sum in some Chinese chilli sauce.

If you want a light bite: Choose Luo Bo Gao (steam carrot cake), Char Siew Sou (BBQ pork pastry) and Pei Dan Zou (porridge with century egg). These Dim Sum are light but still packed with flavour to give you a delightful snack.
