dim t Hampstead

You know that feeling when you're sitting in dim t on a Saturday afternoon and the trolley arrives laden with bamboo steamers? That's when you realise you've made the right call heading up to Hampstead. It's unpretentious stuff—the kind of place where families actually come to eat rather than Instagram—but the execution matters. The har gow are consistently good, the siu mai don't mess about, and they're not stingy with the XO sauce. Heath Street location means you're away from the tourist crush of central dim sum spots, which is precisely why locals keep coming back.
