Dim Sum Calories

Dim sum is dangerous precisely because everything is small. One siew mai is nothing. But one basket here, one plate there, some fried wu kok because it looked nice, and suddenly you have eaten 1,200 calories before 11am.

The steamed baskets are mostly fine. The fried items and anything drowning in sweet sauce are where it stacks up. Everything below is ranked so you know what each basket costs before the trolley auntie reaches your table.
