[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 402933, member: 1991"] OK, Monday morning here, we're about to leave Canberra in a couple of hours. I can't believe you guys have not encountered yum cha! It would go down big in the US! It's a kind of Chinese morning tea, it suffices for breakfast and lunch although commercially it's usually a lunch thing. Or a morning tea thing. You sit at the table and they bring out trays of food, generally all small bites of things. Little dumplings, steamed pork buns, custard tarts, tiny spring rolls, har gau (steamed prawn dumplings in rice flour wrapper) and so on. Chicken feet, sticky rice, barbecued squid, rice noodles, bundles of steamed bok choi with soy and sesame poured over it. All very yum. You take what you want, each dish you take is noted on your bill according to its cost, and at the end of the meal it gets added up. This way you can enjoy lots of tastes of food while sharing good time with friends. It's also a very fast meal because there is little to no waiting. The food is always coming out from the kitchen, it's a constant stream of food around all the tables. A busy yum cha restaurant is full, noisy, bustling and a lot of fun. If you ever have the chance, give it a try. Marg [/QUOTE]
