The Ultimate Dim Sum Experience at Wok Theory [OFFSITE]

If you’re looking to elevate your dim sum game, this is the event for you. Join restaurateur Edwin Lam and The Depanneur’s Len Senater at Wok Theory for a remarkable 12-course gastronomic tour through the heart of Cantonese culinary tradition.

What to Expect This isn't your typical Sunday morning cart-service experience. This curated meal is designed to guide you through the nuance of dim sum—which literally translates to "touch the heart." You'll be treated to a variety of steamed dumplings, including Har Gow and Siu Mai, alongside more complex offerings like Fung Jow (chicken feet with house special sauce) and charcoal molten salted egg yolk buns.

The evening features an exclusive dumpling-making demonstration by Wok Theory’s Executive Dim Sum Chef, Trinh Tieu. It’s a rare opportunity to see the precision and technique required to craft these delicate, shareable bites.

The Venue Located on Dundas Street West in the heart of Chinatown, Wok Theory has quickly become a local favourite since opening in 2023. Owned by a second-generation husband-wife duo, the restaurant balances traditional techniques with a modern, elevated approach. It’s the perfect setting for a deep dive into the history of Yum Cha—the tradition of drinking tea and eating small snacks that dates back to ancient trade routes in southern China.
