The dim sum trolley moves faster than the menu explains. Dim Sum Guide is the reference for the moment it arrives at your table: what that dish is, what’s inside it, and the name to use when you point at it.
It’s the same instinct behind Durian Guide — food that Singaporeans grow up around but rarely get taught the vocabulary for, put into a form you can check in ten seconds without looking like a tourist.
How it’s built
Native apps for both platforms, iOS and Android, backed by Firebase so the dish catalogue can be corrected and extended without pushing a client release. The design was done up front as a full prototype and then implemented against it on each platform, rather than each app inventing its own interpretation.
Status
Actively in development — both platform targets exist and the shared design and Firebase backing are in place.
