‘What’s the difference between momo and dim sum?': Delhi man puts an end to debate with epic reply

A Delhi man’s funny answer to the question, "What’s the difference between momo and dim sum?" has gone viral on X (formerly Twitter).

Momos, steamed or fried - and sometimes tossed in spicy sauces - is a lip-smacking street food that most people enjoy. There are also similar dishes like this item. Recently, in a viral post, a man became curious about the difference between two similar dishes and asked his friend from Delhi what makes momos different from dim sums. The response he received cracked people up, and it went viral on X.

Answering to his friend's question about difference between momos and dim sums, X user Rishabh Kaushik replied, with a hint of sarcasm, that the only difference is how they’re served - if they come in a bamboo box, they’re called dim sums, but if they’re on a plate, they’re momos. “Bamboo box mein aae to dimsums hai or plate mein aae to momos” replied his friend.

The screenshot of their WhatsApp conversation was posted with the caption, “Am I right or I am right?".
