MEL - Yum Cha This Sat (14/11/15) Anyone?

[Aeolus]

Late notice but decided to stay on for another day after a work trip.
Noticed it has been a while since the last yum cha event in MEL and am wondering if anyone would be interested?
Somewhere in the CBD would be great - I am open to suggestions. Thanks.

Sounds good, I may be half asleep but..

As for where not sure.

Will make it for past noon so that you can catch some sleep. Would be good to catch up with you again - been a while.

I'm attending a wedding in the city at 1:30 pm and my flight arrives at 10:15 am so I may be able to make it depending on the start time...

 

[TomVexille]

Sorry, we'll be upstate

 

[tuapekastar]

Afraid it's a no from me.

 

[outbackowner]

Sorry, prior engagements planned.

 

[JessicaTam]

I reckon I can be tempted. I have an appointment at 10am in the 'burbs, but free after that.

 

[Hvr]

Actually when Jessica is free (i.e. early) is good for me. Then I can go home to bed ready for a 2200 hours start that evening.

 

[Aeolus]

Jess, what time will you be available? Shall we tentatively aim for around 11:30am - 12noon?
Airwin, hope you can make it, haven't seen you since you moved up north.

Better make it 12.00 if you don't mind.

Thoughts on where?

 

[Aeolus]

Is Oriental Teahouse at 378 Little Collins St any good?

 

[coriander]

Sorry, would loved to have caught up, but will be in Tassie this weekend.

 

[JessicaTam]

I am on the train. See you soon.

 

[Aeolus]

Not a conventional yum cha place, great selection of teas and so much quieter. We'll soon know if the food is any good but it's definitely a nice place to catch up for a chat.

 

[PLANT]

And the verdict is?

 

[straitman]

Hope you had a great time and that the food was good.

 

[JessicaTam]

The food was really good. A tea tasting section at the front of the restaurant was a nice touch. Ended up about $20pp so good value too. No pics though, too busy talking and eating!

 

[Hvr]

Am now home after a great lunch, good food and awesome people.
Thanks to Aeolus for organising this get together.
