DIM SUM SO CUTE YOU WON’T WANT TO EAT IT!

Dim Sum So Cute You Won’t Want to Eat it!

I’ve talked about it before, but I’m a huge sucker for cute things. 

Over the two and a half years I’ve lived in Asia, I’ve accumulated so many useless things based on the sole fact that I thought they were cute. Cute cutlery, cute stuffed animals, cute figurines… who needs all this stuff?? (Well, apparently I do since I’m the one who bought it all).

While Japan may have a cute culture on a league of its own, Hong Kong certainly has its own fair share of cute factor.

Enter cute dim sumThat’s right– cute dim sum. While many places now offer specialty, or designer, dim sum featuring unique creations or fusion dishes, some places have taken it so far as to make their dim sum almost too cute to eat.

Here are 10 photos of the cutest dim sum creations I’ve encountered thus far!
