Best Dim Sum in Johor Bahru (JB)

Written by Updated ago

A mainstay of Cantonese cuisine, dim sum can be found almost anywhere with a sizable Chinese community. Dumplings such as Har Gao and Siu Mai, Char Siew Bao, Turnip Cake, congee and egg tart are the staple of any dim sum establishment. Amidst the chatter of diners and the clatter of tableware, pushcarts and trays laden with steaming baskets of fresh dim sum carefully navigate through the narrow spaces that separate the many tables that fill a packed restaurant; eagerly offloading dishes to hungry diners.
