Yum Cha To The Power Of Four (2007-10-07)
Nine full days in our trip and four yum cha lunch, almost one every other day! You can tell my family loves dim sum and frankly, so do we. KL met up with an old friend himself one day when he could've eaten his fifth yum cha lunch, but he opted for a western meal which I totally understand.
Incidentally the four restaurants we went to also increased in their
yumminess in the order of our patronage . It's like one
restaurant tried to outdo the last one and it succeeded. Don't
get me wrong, I liked them all but it'd be easy to pick the winner out
of the four if I had to. I'll post pictures of the first two
today and the other two in seperate posts as there're too many pictures.
Rachel had already asked us if we wanted to go yum cha before we
even left Tokyo which we said yes of course. After Peter came to
pick us up at the airport, we went straight to my parents' house in
Hurstville which is only about 15 minutes away. We spent a bit of
time catching up with Mom and Dad and headed to Sunny Harbour Seafood
Restaurant, a coupla minutes away by car. Rachel joined us later
after she dropped the kids to Chinese school (Peter drove us to
Miranda Westfield Shopping Mall after lunch and we would not meet my
neice and nephew until we went back to his place after the
shopping). Hurstville is a very convenient place for old
Chinese like my parents because there's an almost mini Chinatown in the
main drag and within walking distance to many apartment buildings and
houses nearby including my parents'.
After a four-year absence, the dim sum tasted fantastic. I
didn't jot down any prices of any dishes we ate in any restaurants this
trip, so I can't tell you how much the individual dish cost, although I
know the total bill of most meals. This one, however, escaped
me. Thank you Peter and Rachel for treating us to our first meal
in Sydney.
The next day was Sunday, a typical yum cha day for Chinese, so the
same group of people from yesterday were off to Imperial Peking for
another dim sum feast. We ate till our bellies almost burst but
Mom never stopped asking us to try more new dim sum.
Thank you Mom for treating everyone to a great lunch.
