Food and Drink Awards: Best Dim Sum
Dimdim Sum Dimsum Specialty Store
This place has several things going for it. First, there’s the extensive dim sum menu, which mixes classic items with quirkier house specialties (try the ‘real’ pineapple bun filled with small chunks of actual fruit). Second, everything served to the table is steamed/baked/fried fresh-to-order. Third, we’re enamoured by the shrimp rice flour rolls that come with an extra layer of crisp, deep-fried rice paper around its filling. Last but not least, this place serves dim sum until one in the morning. How can we not love it?

Where else can you find seafood pancakes in the shape of Mickey Mouse, or steamed chicken buns that look like Little Green Men? Aside from the cute, novelty dim sum, this restaurant also offers a solid lineup of traditional yumcha items.
