Did you know Dim Sum was originally invented as a humble snack to be savoured along with tea during China’s Tang Dynasty (618-907 CE)? From being served as a small plate for travellers to a premium product at restaurants around the world, Dim Sums have definitely come a long way! Because nothing beats the happiness of biting into a juicy, steamed Dim Sum. But what if we tell you that you don’t need to go out to taste the gourmet snack? Happy Monk offers a range of frozen gourmet Dim Sums right at your doorstep!
Range Of Frozen Gourmet Dim Sum At Home & It’s Worth Digging In!
With its high-quality frozen dim sums, the brand brings restaurant-style Asian flavours right to your home. These handmade dumplings are made with clean ingredients, have a great texture, and taste scrumptious. Each flavour has a specific steam time that ranges between 5 and 10 mins. With more than 20 vegetarian and non-vegetarian options, it’s a simple way to make your everyday meals better. Whether you’re having guests over, going on a date night, or just want something better than what you usually eat from the freezer.
Here’s Everything We Tried!
- Cheesy Crunch: A comforting mix of veggies and gooey cheese with a satisfying bite.
- Smoked Chicken & Cheddar Cheese: Bold, smoky chicken paired with rich cheddar makes this one a standout.
- Three Wild Mushrooms: Earthy and deep with a surprising spicy kick that actually works.
- Chicken Coriander: Mild on heat but fresh, herby, and quietly flavourful.
- Chicken Sriracha: A total winner with the right hit of spice and juicy chicken.
- Edamame Truffle: Subtle, elegant, and packed with truffle aroma and nutty edamame flavour.
- Veg Crystal with Water Chestnut: Light, crisp, and clean with a nice crunch in every bite.
- Crab & Prawn Truffle Sui Mai: Delicate seafood flavours lifted by a gentle truffle note, rich without feeling heavy.
Each pack comes with its own signature chilli oil that lifts the flavours without stealing the spotlight from the dim sums. There are no added preservatives, and the focus stays on keeping things fresh, consistent, and true to taste.
The most important thing is the consistency, the generous filling and how the dumplings stay in shape even after steaming. That’s where frozen food usually falls short, but not here. The textures are even, right, and the wrappers don’t get soggy, and the fillings stay juicy without being too heavy.
It’s hard to ignore how easy it is to make. No prep work or complicated cooking required; just steam and serve. It fits easily into busy weekdays but still feels special on weekends.
Does It Taste Like A Restaurant Experience?
Of course, it doesn’t fully replace the experience of sitting down at a restaurant. But it gets surprisingly close, especially when you want something quick without compromising too much on quality.
If you enjoy dim sum and like the idea of having a reliable pack at home, this range makes sense. It’s easy, it’s satisfying, and most importantly, it doesn’t feel like a shortcut. All you have to do is place them in a steamer lined with parchment paper, cabbage or banana leaf and let them cook for the defined amount of time mentioned. Also, a simple hack: every range has a different steaming time, so make sure you follow it as instructed.
