Dim sum delivery in Singapore
Despite being a huge part of Chinese culture, dim sum is a unique cuisine on its own. It consists of a wide variety of small plates that bring about a myriad of flavours. Best of all, most of them are bite-sized, and it’s incredibly difficult to resist popping them down. To support the many Singaporeans staying home during this period, here are 20 dim sum places offering delivery for a hearty and comforting meal.
