  Che's Cantonese Restaurant Review

  Restaurant was already bustling before midday with the typical energy you would associate with a Yum Cha restaurant. Booking meant no wait was required, however people were waiting for a table. Restaurant was clean and tables were not too crammed, although close together by "western" standards. Wait staff were efficient although a little emotionless - robots doing their job. Children friendly. Toilets were clean but cramped.
  Yum Cha items were written in both english and chinese, as was most of the menu. Dishes were predominantly chosen by ticking a box next to the dish on a piece of printed paper. A sample of dishes tasted included baked pork buns, prawn dumplings, traditional old style spring rolls, prawn and sweet corn fritters. All were exceptionally tasty. The pork buns had a sweet exterior and soft slightly sour pork centre. The prawn dumplings were made with real prawns and were subtly flavoured, the wrapping was not overcooked or too chewy. The traditional old-style spring rolls contained bean sprouts lightly flavoured with a hint of mushroom and were surprisingly pleasant. Egg tarts (daan tart) were petite with a flaky sweet pastry and warm egg custard centre.
  By local standards, this restaurant is expensive, however the cost is worth it in terms of the quality and taste of the dishes presented. It offers standard dishes cooked to a high level as well as some dishes rarely seen in mainstream Yum Cha menus any more. Will definitely be returning and also intending to try this restaurant for dinner in the near future.
