Yanxi Dim Sum & Hotpot-An Insider Guide To Eating Every Dim Sum Dish And Enjoying It

Beneficial things come in bamboo steamer baskets of threes. From unpredictably folded orbs of chewy har gow to fleecy sweet buns filled to the edge with salty fluid gold, dim sum never neglects to be the decision for cajoling foodie friends.

For the people who need to enjoy dim sum to a next level, here’s an insider guide for relishing these scaled down dishes like a pro.

1) Separate Them Up
