Regular MEL Yum Cha Event [April 2014]

[straitman]

OK. Back to the beginning.

Sue and I will come to Melbourne on the 27th and have Yum Cha at a location to be advised. I am suggesting somewhere more or less in the city area (approx 5km radius) as this normally is better for most. We can however be flexible with location.

(I'm happy to swap to the Sat 26th if that is better for people.)

Who else is interested :?:

No problem for people to have drinks or dinner later IMHO but I believe it deserves it's own thread.

Turns out that I have plans around lunchtime on the 27th, so not available for Yum Cha.

No worries.

Enjoy and catch up another time.

 

[Hvr]

I can do lunch on 27 April.

 

[boomy]

I can probably do yum cha and drinks after.

The list in post #47 is updated.

Now all we need is a venue.

Suggestions please as we have already been to the only one I know. (We could book there again)

 

[JessicaTam]

Still interested, but I will have to wait until the day to confirm/cancel.

I am definitely out for all of these events.

It's not that I don't like you, but I will definitely be overseas...

Thanks markis10

 

[Cool Cat Phil]

I'm pretty cool with which ever venue we choose!

Good food + Good Conversations = Happy times!

 

[Isochronous]

I can recommend HuTong Prahran on a weekend. Good mix of dumplings and traditional yum cha items.

 

[ithongy]

I'm keen to join in... Just need a time & place. Would be great to meet some new peeps from MEL before heading back to SYD later in the day.
