New dumplings and pastries are among some of the hottest treats to indulge in throughout the holiday season
The art of yum cha is not only about good teas—though the name translates literally as ‘drinking tea’, the experience can be enhanced with the right vibes and a great selection of dim sum. The dainty nibbles, savoury and sweet, presented in plates and steamers are great accompaniment to a good brew over enjoyable conversations.

Among the newest dim sum selections available this season, here are our picks for the best to enjoy in Hong Kong this winter.
