Adorable eats: The cute dim-sum trend taking over Hong Kong’s Instagram

A restaurant called Yum Cha in Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong, has become the go-to spot for dim sum, but this popular eatery doesn’t serve run-of-the-mill har gau and bao. Instead, Yum Cha is steaming up pastel-coloured dim sum in the shape of cute characters that are almost too adorable to eat.
