Yauatcha has teamed up with renowned artist Alapan Saha from Kolkata to produce customized dim sum baskets in an effort to uplift the holiday mood and honor Chinese history. The dining experience will be enhanced by these hand-painted baskets, which will highlight the craftsmanship and meticulousness for which Yauatcha is renowned.
