This pandemic has really changed us. I'm sure a lot of you will agree. For the good, for the bad, hopefully all for the good. One thing that we have allotted more time and effort is growing
Little Yum Cha. It's a passion project of mine. And the pandemic has made me really focus on growing it. I realized that I haven't shared it here on my blog yet, so I wanted to share bits and pieces with you all.
My love for dim sum started long long time ago. My family and I would casually dine in dim sum places and I would always order Siomai. I don't know any kid who doesn't enjoy siomai. It always just feels like home, you know? I also remember eating at authentic Chinese restaurants, having their "set menu" when there's a special occasion.
Fast forward to meeting my husband. He is very particular with Chinese food. He grew up eating at authentic restaurants and because he briefly lived in Chinatown, Manila, he has visited some of the famous and even hole in the wall places where to get really good Chinese food. At home, they also cook Chinese dishes, approved by his mom.
I have to admit, I wasn't a big fan of Chinese food at first. But eventually, I grew a liking and actually started enjoying it! Is it the age? The company? I don't know. Even though my husband doesn't consider dim sum as a "meal", I have somehow influenced him to these steamed delicacies and the rest is history.
If you know any Chinese person or if you are Chinese, you know how particular we are with food, especially dishes that claim they are "Chinese". So with
Little Yum Cha, best believe we have eaten each and every food there is in our menu.
I personally find it so difficult to choose which one is the best! But I think the best thing with Little Yum Cha is that it's meals for the busy people or people who just need a breather. It's so easy to thaw and steam, anyone can pretty much do it. We deliver your orders frozen so you can keep it for long it your freezer and just thaw when you're ready to eat.
Quality is never compromised as we also supply our dim sum to authentic Chinese restaurants around the Metro. It's more relevant now because we can't really go out to dine. Sometimes you just want to have that familiar taste, right? That's why we decided to tap the retail market and offer our dim sum to end consumers.
How I miss bringing Robyn out, but I'm glad I can prepare some of her favorite dim sum at home and it doesn't take me a lot of time. You know, #twinlife and #toddlerslife.
We also don't scrimp on the quantity. If you look at the menu and how many pcs or how much the weight is per order, you'll see that it can feed 3-4 persons per order. So it's definitely cheaper than what you pay for in restaurants and you get to enjoy it in the comfort of your own homes.
Just recently, we launched our newest product, Beancurd Roll, which is a personal favorite. We've been testing it out and brainstorming on how to make it delicious yet affordable. And now, we have finalized it and started selling it already.
Another product that we took time formulating is Little Yum Cha Chili Garlic Oil. We made sure that there is a harmonious blend of toasted chilis and garlic. It's the right balance of spice, crunch and flavor. My husband tends to have an extra cup of rice every time we pop open a bottle of Chili Garlic Oil. Haha!
Anyway, if you want to try it for yourself, here is our price list. As you can see, we made sure that the prices are very reasonable.
Here is how to order.
Delivery is a little different now because of the pandemic. We usually use Lalamove, Grab, Mr. Speedy or Angkas for deliveries. This way you get your orders right away.
