Italian pastry arts meet China Mu DimSum, a gourmet restaurant in Milan inspired by China has two souls. One reflects traditions and reveals itself through dim sum and iconic dishes that are an expression of authentic Cantonese cuisine. The other is contemporary, the result of the encounter between raw ingredients, modern techniques and new flavours born from the blending of Asian and Italian cultures.
