Dim sum, as with most food, should be enjoyed. There is no right or wrong – you should do what your heart desires. But alas, you are a reader on Medium. Your heart desires structure. Your subconscious saw “framework” and clicked. You already plan your vacations in a spreadsheet, what’s the harm in adding another tab for dim sum?
Problem statement
A dim sum menu can be intimidating. They often aren’t well structured, the translations can be confusing, there isn’t guidance on how much to order nor which dishes are the must-haves, and to top it off it isn’t uncommon for service to be brusque or have limited English-speaking ability.
