Hong Kong Dim Sum Vendor Stacking Steamers

by Celeste Bates

Cylindrical bamboo steamers stack in a tall, tapering column atop a metal counter beside a glistening fish display. The vendor’s hands, moving with practiced speed, place the next tier onto the pile, aligning the woven rims. Wet droplets rest on the bamboo slats, reflecting the cool, late-afternoon light filtering through the market roof. Beside the stack, silver scales of fresh fish catch the glare, creating a shimmering backdrop against the vendor’s dark clothing. The humid air leaves a sheen on the stainless steel surfaces. Overhead, the woven texture of the bamboo contrasts with the smooth, cold curves of the metal counter. One shadow falls across the edge of the lowest steamer, marking the precise moment of placement.
