Momos and dim sums have legions of fans. Both these treats can be stuffed with a variety of ingredients, which also makes them suitable for unusual flavour combinations and cooking experiments. In some ways, momos and dim sums are quite similar. Both can be described as steamed pockets of filling, often associated with Pan-Asian cuisines. Recently, an X post about the difference between the two grabbed many eyeballs online. In the now-viral post, we see a screengrab of a Whatsapp conversation in Hindi between two people.

One person asks the other if they can ask them something because they are from Delhi. They reply in the affirmative and are asked about the difference between the two aforementioned delicacies. The Delhi person replies that the difference lies in the vessel in which they are served. According to them, if the dish comes in a bamboo box, it is a dim sum. If it is served on a plate, it is a momo. Check out the post below:
