Yo Dimsum

Yo Dimsum is located in Faridabad N I T at Plot No 1D/82. It is a bit of a different kind of shop for this area because we mainly focus on dumplings. We don't have a big fancy dining room or anything like that. It’s more of a small kitchen where we spend most of our time rolling out dough and mixing the fillings. The steamers are always going, so the whole place smells like cooked flour and ginger. It’s a small operation, usually just two or three of us working at a time. We get a lot of younger people from the neighborhood who want something different to eat in the evenings. The plot is in a busy part of NIT, so there is always something going on outside our door. Sometimes we struggle with the heat in the summer because the steamers make the kitchen very humid. We keep the menu simple because we want to make sure we don't run out of ingredients. Sometimes we have to tell people we are closed early if we sell out of everything we prepped in the morning. We don't use any fancy machines, just our hands and the bamboo baskets. It’s a lot of repetitive work but we've gotten pretty fast at it. We just want to provide a decent snack for the local people without making it too complicated or expensive for them.
