Image credit: @linisgod
Most dim sum restaurants have a rather traditional oriental look, but MASA by Black Society brings a fresh spin to things with its modern, garden-like interiors with hanging plants. Their dim sum is equally eye-catching, cutely shaped like animals and fruits such as swans, pigs, and mangosteen!
