Dimsums, those light and flavourful pouches of healthy wholesomeness, the stuff good food is made of, are no dumplings to be relegated to snack food level. If done right and done creatively, dimsums can pack a whole punch, making them a complete meal. Steaming out of their bamboo baskets in transluscent purity and meticulous dexterity that is all but evident, dimsums sum up a fair deal in terms of taste, balance and good sense.
Dimsums originated in the Canton region of China but today are popular across much of far-eastern countries, right from Singapore to Thailand to Japan. Each country has adopted them and modified them to local tastes, thus adding interesting new dimensions to this food item.
19 Oriental Avenue, the Pan-Asian restaurant at the Shangri-La Eros, winner of Times Food Award 2013 for 'Best Thai' has now introduced a sumptuous Saturday Dimsum Brunch with a stunning collection of the steamed snack that has surely evolved into a full meal avataar, what with so many people today opting for lighter, healthier options when it comes to eating out. How many times have you been to a typical buffet lunch, gorged on the variety of food and come back feeling sick, telling yourself never again. This is where this Dimsum Brunch scores, for not only do you taste a whole variety of flavours, diverse ingredients and innovative combinations, but the extreme fineness of the dimsum wrappers and almost negligible oil used, keeps the experience light.

While the dimsums are truly scintillating, the best part about this Dimsum Brunch is that you can sample a whole lot of oriental, exotic food right from the rather adventurous array of Thai and Japanese starters that will awaken your taste-buds to the much in demand Sushi and Sashimi to Robatayaki Japanese Grill and Japanese Steaks.
I personally tried a whole lot of Japanese food, knowing what a healthy cuisine it is. From a savoury Japanese egg custard to an array of seaweeds with wasabi to the unique Japanese buckwheat noodles that are had with a delicious watery, soy sauce and herbs, with no oil at all!
