How good is yum cha???????

My uncle, who has been here since last March, goes back to the UK on Sunday. And, being from that Land of the Hooligan & Ratbag (ie Liverpool) he had never heard of yum cha. So we all trooped off to Imperial Peking at Blakehurst (well 'we' being me, MrB, Misses M & H, Mum, Dad & UD) to indulge in a yum cha feeding frenzy.

We sat down, got our pot of tea, and the first lady approached us laden with Stuff. We got about 5 or 6 plates, and almost inhaled them. The plates were empty within a matter of seconds. It was a sign of things to come...

It wasn't the Ultimate Yum Cha Experience, as Imperial Peking is pretty small. And Hexagonal. So there were no trolleys, just little Chinese ladies bearing trays of steamers and plates of deep-fried goodies. But, due to it's proximity to Hurstville, the yum cha is so very good. And there were odd waiters who kept making strange noises to amuse the kiddies....

So now UD is educated in the ways of the BBQ Pork bun. And the Daan Tart. And the salt & pepper calamari. It was all so very good, even if I did end up enduring the rest of the afternoon with that bloated lethargy that over-indulging in yum cha can bring...
