Dim Sum In Bondi Junction Westfield (2007-10-09)
David and Serlina took us to Kam Fook inside the swanky Bondi Junction Westfield to have yum cha. My parents were included in the guest list but Dad had made arrangement to visit a friend who just underwent heart surgery and Mom was recovering slowly from an inflammed leg and didn't feel like walking with us.
Early in the morning KL and I met with David and Serlina at
Hurstville station and took a train to BJ. Since parking is
limited and expensive in the mall, the best way to get there is by
public transport. Our train wasn't a direct run to BJ like some
others, so we had to switch to another one at Central Station. To
us Tokyo residents who are used to making multiple connecting trains,
the Central station switch is a piece of cake.
Once out of the BJ station, Westfield is only a few minutes walk
away. The looming mall looks huge from the outside which is made
up of two sections. The newer wing is posh, shiny and houses some
name brand shops whereas the older section has all the usual suspects
such as chain clothes stores and a cinema which is adjacent to Kam
Fook, our destination.
It is comfortable to sit inside the restaurant which has high
ceiling, well-spaced tables, cushioned seats and wrap-around
full-length windows. There were many more westerners than Chinese
in the restaurant which is unusual for a good yum cha place in a city
full of Asians. As soon as we were seated, dim sum carts streamed
past us and we were offered dim sum from every one of them. The
dim sum were delicious, I think the steamed pork buns and egg tarts
were the best out of the four yum cha places we've tried.
After the very tasty meal, we spent the rest of the day browsing in
the mall before we made the next stop to another restaurant for
dinner. Oh boy, no wonder I put on weight this trip! Thank
you David and Serlina for treating us to a wonderful meal.
