uLi In Action - Dim Sum Culinary Workshop with Chef Lo!

Wanted to specialize in cooking for family with different menu? Tantalize them with the attractive Dim Sum as breakfast or supper then ^^ Recently I've joined the Dim Sum Culinary Workshop which organized by Hotel Nikko KL. It was indeed a fun experience and it's also my first time "worked" at such a big kitchen, furthermore it's at the 5 stars hotel!

The unique culinary art of Dim Sum originated with the Cantonese in Southern China. Dim Sum is usually liked with the older tradition of Yum Cha (drink tea) from a relaxing respite to a loud and happy dining experience. Besides that, Yum Cha also treated as a weekend family day. Occasionally, I will bring mum for Dim Sum and to "tan-cha" over the lovely Sunday too ^^

A picture of me and Chef Lo - Chef Lo Tian Sion fondly known as Chef Lo, the Dim Sum Chef of Toh Lee Chinese Restaurant at Hotel Nikko Kuala Lumpur has made his mark in many well-known restaurants and hotels in Kuala Lumpur with his experience in culinary scene for more than 19 years.
