The last Dim Sum making workshop we had with Yum Cha, was a hit and was sold out within the first few days. We get random requests from Foodie Club members time to time, on when we will host another dim sum workshop.

This got us thinking — What makes dim sum so irresistible?

Is it...
... the silky rice sheets that are so soft and tender to the lips?

... the semi-translucent I-can-see-how-much-chives-you-got-there skin?

... the hot steam that condenses upon your glasses when you reveal freshly steamed dim sum from their baskets?

If 'yes, yesss, YESSSSS!' is the answer to all of the above, this workshop is for you. The last round, you guys got your hands dirty, kneading the dough, and making dim sum from scratch. This time round, it's going to be a little more analytical — we're going to work your brain and taste buds.

After seeing the wave of support at our recent fish ball workshop, where we explored and learned what’s really in our favourite mystery snack bites, we’ve decided to continue the Hong Kong food series with this second instalment with Choose Right Today, this time moving on to dim sum.

At this workshop, get ready for...

Dim Sum Food War

Prep your taste buds – we will be putting them to the test once again. So... what’s the difference between dim sum made with sustainably sourced ingredients and regular shop-bought varieties? In collaboration with Pacific Rich Resources, our sustainable seafood supplier for this series, you will find out. Which one tastes better? You be the judge. We’re talking about sampling some signature local dim sum favourites like siu mai and har gow. Mmm...

Cooking demo

Most of us only know how to eat dim sum fresh from their bamboo baskets, but what about making some? Be prepared to get out your notebook and pen, pay attention and take notes during our chef demo where you will learn how to make sustainably sourced dim sum from scratch.
