Description
Being one of the most symbolic food among all Dim Sum categories, Sesame Balls are also a kind of cuisine well-received in China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Malaysia.
With sesame seed scattered on top of the skin, the insides of the Sesame Balls are often sweet fillings, e.g. red beans.
The treat itself is also unanimous with the meaning of 'many childs', a rather commonly reappearing blessing during traditional holidays.
