    millenials like to take photos of everything they eat. i prefer the old dimsum.. no frill, filling and satisfying ones.

    Correct, esp when too many HK restaurants are closing, because the customers are going to Shenzhen for "cheaper food".

    I think the "squids in the sea" is DIVINE; appreciate that Chef Li appropriately placed the "squids" in a blue/teal casserole "vessel". Not very impressed by the other ones.

    The first chef from Chinese Library and Man Wah's chef is truly innovative. You can tell he has a strong understanding of classical flavours, like pairing apple with foie gras (offal cut) in order to create balance. The fried soup dish wo za is something I've only heard of in books, that's an example of imperial cooking right there, definitely going to try it when I go to HK next time. Most of the commenters don't understand that dim sum has always had changes, xiao long bao wasn't considered part of Cantonese dimsum until the 1950s when the Shanghai/Jiangnan chefs fled to HK to escape war.

    This dim sum was elevated, creative, & artistic. While many will remain loyal to traditional dim sum - these chefs are what place HK on the map in pushing culinary innovation. It will certainly pique the interests of food experimentalists, global chefs, foodie aficionados, food fusion pros and cultured tourists who love elevated dining. Everything presented was beautiful and seemed mouthwatering. Would love to sample this fare this when I go to HK.

    Next generation dim sum, super creative. Ever heard of Immersive Translate?? It's a tool that supports real-time subtitles and generate them for videos in foreign languages. With the subtitles, you fully understand the video content and naturally learn a foreign language while watching.

    Why be so cynical? Nothing is static. Not even the "proven classics" you speak of. They all evolved and incorporated something new. It may be expensive at first, but if it's a successful then others will copy at lower prices.

    This movement forgets the Chinese heritage of food. Leave the art to pottery. The ingredients are an upgrade, but no longer has the same language, and does not fit with the traditional dishes. Once new dim sum dishes are incorporated well into most restaurants, then you know you have success. Pairing tea based, non-alcoholic cocktails with dim sum nouveau is on the right track.
