Yum Cha

I went to lunch at Yum Cha (on Cavenagh St) on Sunday just gone. For older Darwinites, the restaurant used to be the Lee Dynasty restaurant - the first Chinese restaurant in Darwin to not serve pink coloured sauce on their sweet and sour dishes.

This weekend lunch option is so popular with locals that you must book.

We had a selection comprising turnip cake, taro puffs, rice flake pork rolls, stuffed eggplant and the prawn rice rolls. We drank chinese tea throughout the meal.

The service was quick for the food.
Top ups for the tea had to be asked for a few times and the water requested didn't come.

I would have liked some fresh green vegetable options with all of the starches and meats - I remember that on a previous visit they had a lovely green vegetable special.

Anyway, the food is great and I would go there again and again just for the prawn rice rolls and chinese tea!
