While big social gatherings are being kept to a minimum during the pandemic, one thing you can’t miss out on is indulging in mouthwatering Chinese food. Why not bring home some classic dim sum dishes you can easily enjoy in the comfort of your own homes? And the best part is, there’s no one there to judge you in case you overindulge.
Here are a couple of stores where you can get your fill of ready-to-cook dim sum:
1. The House of Dim Sum
Based in New Manila, The House of Dim Sum offers a wide variety of freshly made premium dim sum. With recipes straight from Hong Kong, you can ensure that you get an authentic experience for your feast at home. They have it all — from the classics to the sweet and savory and even dim sum paos!
Chinoy owner, Kat de Jesus, shares that this business started out as a quarantine project. Since she works as a DJ, she needed to find an alternative source of income. To her surprise and delight, her dim sum business garnered overwhelming support and is continuously growing.
So, if you’re missing the taste of Hong Kong dim sum, some dishes you should try out are the Chiu Chow dumplings and beancurd rolls. And for your sweet tooth, don’t miss out on the egg custard buns.
