Yum Cha Lunch for Chinese New Year
/
Ni hao. We celebrated the Chinese year of the rat with a fantastic yum cha lunch. Aaron and Kirsty were slaving away in the kitchen with Darryl as server of the food. We feasted on traditional Chinese delicacies such as BBQ pork buns, dumplings and dim sims. This was supplemented with gyoza, spring rolls, samosa and money bags. Delicious foods were washed down with jelly drinks for the adventurous. The dishes were cooked and delivered on small plates yum cha style with labels advising what they were. The food just kept on coming, plate after plate, until we were nearly full. Then we had crackers and traditional Chinese lollies for dessert, which made us full to bursting. A full dining room provided plenty of atmosphere and the day was a joyous event, universally liked.
