These dishes are never malicious but always Mala!
To help you dig into this Dim Sum Basket, the Dollies will be joined by their Chopstick, Hossan Leong.

After 3 years of Covid confinement, this is the big-time live entertainment we all deserve.
In Still Steam, the Dollies will be looking at all kinds of women issues … ahhh but mainly the fun ones la. You guys are going to love this show too as we bring on the Dolly favourites: the giggling schoolgirls from MGS, RGS, SCGS and CHIJ (bet you want to find out who Hossan will be), women in the political arena like Rosmah, Imelda, Aung San Suu Kyi and Ho Ching, Fairy tale princesses, Nuns, Parking Pontianaks, SQ girls and the madness goes on.
It’s going to be an epic one you don’t want to miss. They say classics get better with age. Well, they get even better when served up with a couple of tantalizing twists.
Everyone must come to catch the return of the phenomenal Dim Sum Dollies. Get your tickets from Book my Show and to join us for damn steam night at the theatre cos the Dim Sum Dollies are back, and they are definitely; Still Steam.
