Regular MEL Yum Cha Event [Shark Finn House 1:30pm 23rd March 2014]

[Cool Cat Phil]

So following interest in the Feb thread , I figure we should get the ball rolling for the Regular MEL Yum Cha Event for March & start a new thread.

So Far March 23rd is a date many of us have already put forward as a suitable date.

And since we're only a few weeks away, maybe we should stick to that date, as time is literally flying by.

Does anyone have any suggestions for a Venue & time to meet up on Sunday March 23rd?

Who's Pumped up & Raring to Go for the Third MEL Yum Cha event?

Don't know about a venue, but lunchtime would be good as I probably have to leave for work that afternoon.

 

[blackcat20]

I'm in but have no idea about venues.

Gold Leaf in Docklands have good Yum Cha.

I think thats where we went in January...too many prawns :shock:

Shanghai Dynasty is also a good option.

True Chinese Yum Cha is essential served at lunch time only.

IMHO Gold Leaf was not a pinch on where we went in February.

Not really relevant as I/we will be somewhere on the NSW coast on the 23rd March. Have a great time where ever you end up.

If the after lunch crowd are around a catch up might indeed be possible.

Colour me gold.

You can say no to the items from the cart which you don't want...

 

[penegal]

And list me as maybe... To far out to know where I shall be

 

[billystorm]

Will keep an eye on this thread to find out location/timings etc, i may or may not still be in Melbourne on 23rd...subject to a quick OS holiday

Unfortunately that didn't leave too many left to choose from.

Exactly my problem.

Howdy Folks.... So far we have a handful of interested People for Yum - Cha this coming Sunday.

From intentions made so far I figure that we have as:

Platinum:

Blackcat20
Cool Cat Phil

Gold:

Jessica Tam
BillyStorm
TomVexille
Boomy


Silver:


Penegal


Bronze:


Straightman



So let me know if this is your correct Status & we would always love to add to the list at any time!

Do we need a poll to decide the location or should we go with Shanghai Dynasty or Gold Leaf ?

I reckon we should wrap this up & make a booking by say Thursday?

What Do the Yum-Cha Reveller's think?

Gold Leaf in Docklands have good Yum Cha.

And earn (lots!) of QF points

You guys are on a roll. I picked (and attended/organised) the first. The subsequent are have been/are dates i'm not in Melbourne (and tbh, i'm not actually travelling that much atm).

I'll pencil myself in for April, but, I have a friend in town staying with me for the entire month and he's not into anything adventurous (Yum Cha is *definitely* out).

Gold Leaf was lovely last w/end when I was there. Managed to be right next to a stream of super-fresh dumplings. Very tasty!

If Gold Leaf was where we were in Jan, then the no shrimp/pork pickings were very slim indeed. I would like to try somewhere different, as I won't bother going there again.

Have been advised I'm working on the 23rd. Will see what happens for April.

How much is a taxi from Tullamarine?

Yum Cha is 98% pork and prawn/seafood. It isn't great for you vegos unfortunately
