Dim sum, or 點心, is often translated as “to touch the heart”—a fitting expression for the care that goes into every piece. [en.wiktionary.org]
Before designing anything, we wanted to learn from the people who know the craft best. So we went back to school.
Chef Dai Ma (大孖) @bigma_dimsum generously took the time to teach us traditional dim sum making, sharing his knowledge, experience, and the small details that only years of practice can reveal.
Those lessons led us to the 餡挑—a dim sum filling spatula. Traditionally made from bamboo, this simple tool is used to scoop and place fillings, and to help shape each piece of dim sum.
It’s a humble tool, but an important one. And we believe it deserves the same thoughtful attention as the craft—and the hands—behind it.
At Titanion, we have a habit of putting an almost absurd amount of time, energy, and resources into things most people overlook.
So, can we reimagine this traditional tool in titanium and create a next-generation dim sum spatula?
Follow along as we find out.
這幾年，Titanion 做的工具大多跟西式料理和烘焙有關。但我們是一個香港品牌，我一直都想做點跟自己文化有關的東西。想來想去，還是回到點心——一門我們很熟悉，卻未必真正了解的手藝。
想做點心工具，總不能只憑自己的想像。所以在開始設計之前，我們先去上課，從做點心學起。
很感謝大孖師傅願意花時間教我們。除了傳統點心的做法，他還分享了很多多年累積下來的經驗。有些動作，看師傅做起來很輕鬆，到自己動手，才知道原來每個細節都有講究。
學習的過程中，一件小工具引起了我們的興趣：餡挑。
傳統的餡挑用竹製成，用來挑取餡料、放餡，也會用來輔助點心塑形。它沒有甚麼華麗的外表，卻是師傅每天都會用到的工具。
我們開始想：這件看這件看似簡單的工具，有沒有值得重新研究的地方？如果換成鈦，又會做成甚麼樣子？
這也很像 Titanion 一貫的做事方式。別人可能覺得「只是一支餡挑而已」，我們卻會為了這些小東西，投入多得有點誇張的時間和心力。
這次，我們想試試用鈦，做一支不一樣的點心餡挑。
最後能不能做出一支讓師傅用得順手、也願意繼續用的工具？我們還在摸索。
接下來，就跟大家慢慢分享。 taken in Hong Kong , 香港 by @bigma_dimsum](https://s3.imginn.com/843509513_18042218330824118_2199197978021312579_n.jpg?t51.82787-15/843509513_18042218330824118_2199197978021312579_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e15_p640x640_tt6&_nc_cat=111&ig_cache_key=NDAwNzYxOTY5ODQ4MDg4MzcwODE4MDQyMjE4MzI0ODI0MTE4.3-ccb7-5&ccb=7-5&_nc_sid=58cdad&efg=eyJ2ZW5jb2RlX3RhZyI6IkNMSVBTLnhwaWRzLjcyMC5zZHIudmlkZW9fZGVmYXVsdF9jb3Zlcl9mcmFtZS5DMyJ9&_nc_ohc=HjeJggM6P88Q7kNvwHWQ44X&_nc_oc=AdqOJqwCNfxx-_YfIs9KSd2ZziF9cSzJSaZvM5dJTBv8pflRiMs6hHfCeanXC8QALP2W8xVebV-aKSn5REPFEOev&_nc_ad=z-m&_nc_cid=0&_nc_zt=23&_nc_ht=scontent-mia3-1.cdninstagram.com&_nc_gid=_8n9cpgiWwABwSaykCLWOg&_nc_ss=7a20f&oh=00_AQMbM3ad10sD3Coox_e4cS5eYlJiVTfdgQEfv1sG9It8IA&oe=6ADB9D07)
