A: Dim sum is a traditional Chinese cuisine consisting of bite-sized portions of food, typically served in steamer baskets or on small plates. It encompasses a wide variety of dumplings, buns, rolls, and other savory delights, often enjoyed with tea as part of a leisurely meal or as a quick snack.
A: Yes! We understand the importance of catering to different dietary preferences. That's why we offer a dedicated vegan range that includes various vegan dim sum options, crafted with plant-based ingredients and the same attention to taste and quality as our traditional offerings.
A: No, we offer both frozen and fresh options for our dim sum. Our frozen dim sum is handmade and immediately frozen to preserve their flavors and quality.

A: Our frozen dim sum can be stored in the freezer for a recommended period of up to three months. Be sure to check the packaging for the specific best-before date and follow proper storage instructions for optimal taste and quality.
Whilst some of our products are made without gluten, other products using gluten are made in the same kitchen and whilst we pride ourselves on very strict food handling procedures, inevitably there is a risk of contamination so we advise those with serious gluten intolerances to avoid our products.
