Yum Cha
By Peter G • Aug 9th, 2007 • Category: ReviewsMmmmm…fresh steamed dumplings ready to be devoured! Nothing beats Yum cha for that traditional Cantonese dining experience. There is so much going on! The fast paced action of the dining room floor. Trolleys being pushed to and fro. Everyone trying to decide on what to order. Bamboo baskets exchanged. Its a hectic environment but I find every bit of it enjoyable. And like most places in the world with a Chinatown, we here in Sydney are spoilt for choice. So off we went to Zilver in Chinatown ready for a midday treat of Yum Cha. It was just after 12 and the place was pumping. There was one table left and we snatched it before you could say “fried rice”. So join me on this photo journey of Chinese delights. I hope your mouth waters…

As you can see we devoured a fair few items. It was all delicious. Yum cha is still a traditional Sunday gathering for a lot of people. I’m just glad they now offer it at all times of the week. Just make sure you get there early.
