As younger diners gravitate towards authentic global cuisines and meaningful culinary experiences, interest in regional Chinese cuisine continues to grow. Dim Sum & Co. responds to this shift by exploring the traditions, flavours, and communal dining culture that define China’s rich culinary heritage. Tracing its origins to the tea houses along ancient trade routes, dim sum was designed to be shared over cups of tea, bringing people together through food and conversation. Rooted in this Cantonese tea-house tradition, the series combines time-honoured craftsmanship with contemporary interpretations tailored to Colombo’s evolving palate.
“Dim sum is a cuisine that demands both patience and precision, where every fold, filling and flavour has a purpose,” said Chef Prithvi. “With this menu, we wanted to go beyond familiarity and introduce guests to both authentic techniques and modern interpretations that reflect Yi Jing’s culinary philosophy. The result is a collection that is both respectful of its origins and exciting for today’s diner.”
Guests can expect 9 distinct handcrafted dim sums, including Sweet Corn & Pepper Sui Mai, Charred Mushroom Crystal Dumplings, Spinach & Black Pepper Dumplings, Lobster Har Gao and White Fish & Coriander Dumplings. The menu also features Fire Cracker Chicken Pot Stickers, Artisanal Beef Wontons, Pan-Fried Lamb & Scallion Bao and Char Siu Pork Rice Rolls, each dish embodying Yi Jing’s interpretation of the rich artistry and regional diversity of Chinese dim sum traditions.
Dim Sum & Co. further strengthens ITC Ratnadipa’s position as a destination for immersive, culture-driven culinary experiences in Colombo, where global traditions are reimagined through exceptional ingredients, craftsmanship and hospitality.
