FOOD entrepreneur Mohd Ridzuan Mohd Salleh got his first taste of halal dim sum when a friend shared with him a bite-size Chinese dumpling made by a hotel in mid-2015.

That first taste inspired the 30-year-old to venture into the halal dim sum business and he opened a stall to sell the delicacy at a food court in Mergong, Alor Setar, in April last year.
