Emporer's Garden Seafood Restaurant Yum Cha

Had to catch up with a mate because I can’t make his wedding because it clashes with uni :( Two days a semester, and one has to be that day!

So of course it was Yum Cha at Emporer’s Garden ;)

Was slightly disappointed by the broccoli being over cooked

And yummy coconut jelly to round it off!

Sydney

And off for a long long walk!

And a rather nice soy latte at the Opera Bar to warm me up!

For Rish’s belated birthday, I promised him Yum Cha. And on recommendation from a workmate, we headed to Mr Chai Seafood at lunchtime Sunday. A short walk from home (yay!) a good way to kick off a Sunday after a sleep in.

mmmmm bbq pork buns.

Skipped the cue of groups waiting for large tables, and got our table for two. Then proceeded to our usual orderings of steamed goodness…

The lady with the broccoli saw me eyeing her off, and brought some over :)

Prawn parcels

The highlight because at times these can be too stringy… yum! spinachy, prawny, mushroomy balls.

And, at request, prawn rice noodles.

Add in a coke it was $42. We’ll be back!

(spent the rest of the day wandering around Kogarah. Sore legs from that!!!)

Brisbane – Yum Cha

Brisbane
Stemed BBQ Pork Bun – we had two baskets of these!

I am so glad we flew up to Brisbane on Saturday and not Sunday – means we missed any issues with Virgin Blue… hopefully it’ll all be sorted by the tim we fly home!

Our first stop, after a 4:30am start after getting to bed after midnight, was to King of Kings in Fortitude Valley for some Yum Cha… breakfast of champions…

One of our traditions going to Sydney for events/gigs/parties/whatever is to have a yum cha breakfast the next day – usually close to midday, and usually at Emperor’s Garden in Chinatown (right across from Paddy’s markets).

We eat a lot of steamed dishes – including the must-have BBQ Pork Buns. Yums.
