DIM SUM

In the finest dim sum houses, every bite is a balance of texture, technique, and tradition — delicate wrappers, savoury fillings, golden crusts, and fragrant steam all working in harmony. Rooted in classical Cantonese methods, our hands-on classes guide you through each step with care and clarity, and focus on the details that make the difference. So you can recreate not just the form, but the soul of truly great dim sum. If you’re looking for dim sum that tastes and feels like the real thing, this is probably the best experience you’ll find in the GTA.

Classes in this category are conducted in Cantonese by default. An English interpreter is available upon request.
