Full marks for trying as these guys carefully show off their cardboard Gundam. Alas, the attempts to elevate the height (if not the size) with mini platforms is foiled by a slight raise of the flooring. Watch for an epic fail on a minor detail.

Thanks to the internet, you can never again say you’ve seen everything. The Dim Sum Dollies are a musical cabaret group who have have been around in Singapore since 2002.

They’re played by Selena Tan, Emma Yong and Pamela Oei. The Dollies are known for their loud and colourful costumes, spectacular dance scenes and their comical but incisive approach to contemporary social issues in Singapore.

The name Dim Sum Dollies was conceived because:

1. Being typically Singaporean, they love to eat.
2. Dim Sum always comes in threes.
3. Dim Sum is widely varied – just like how they are playing a wide variety of characters.

Check below for a bit of Dim Sum Dollies footage…
