· 5 pulledWhenever someone asks what my death row meal would be, I say dim sum without fail.
What I love most about dim sum is that you never have the same experience twice – a bit like snowflakes, no two are ever the same.
Dim sum covers all bases – there's no settling on one thing: it's a chance to sample everything as you work your way through the menu.
It doesn't fit neatly into starters, mains and desserts, but exists as its own genre, borderless and all-encompassing.
Heaven is a round table in a favourite Cardiff restaurant, and dainty dim sum tucked inside bamboo baskets.
