Dim sum was a favorite weekend treat where I grew up in New York. On Sundays, we would head over to Chinatown and feast on tiny steamed dumplings, egg rolls, meat-filled buns, fried shrimp, and the occasional chicken foot.
Little steamers on carts would be wheeled around the dining room, allowing you to take whatever you wanted — most of the time you had no idea what was inside that red bun or that green dumpling until you took a bite. It didn’t matter, however, because it was all good.

Bloom in Wynwood has introduced Dim Sum-Days. Served every Sunday from noon to 8 p.m., it’s part brunch, part dim sum. Dishes are less traditional, with flavor influences from Korea, Japan, and China. The vibe is laid back — in fact we were there about two hours.

But that’s part of the fun. A small clipboard on the table is
accompanied by golf pencils. Check off the items you want to try and
give it to your server. We did this a few times, taking our time with the food as we sipped sake and Scottish beer aged in rum casks. Added bonus: there plenty of vegetarian options on the menu.
