yum cha

Trolley service Yum Cha (Dim Sum) restaurants are harder to come by outside China, especially outside Hong Kong. There is one place left in London that still does it well and has good Dim Sum. The chinese restaurant is called Chen Cheung Ku and it is located just around the corner from the main Chinatown strip in London near SOHO. The closest Tube Stations are Piccadilly Circus or Leicester Square, from there it is a very short walk. I have tried to attach a Google Map to help.

I might be wrong, but this is the only Chinese restaurant we could find in Tauranga that serves dim sum at lunchtime. What I found most interesting about this restaurant is that they make all their own dim sum. Most of the dim sum than I'm used to is bought premade and then steamed fresh for service. This gives this Chinese restaurant a unique flavour as it clearly uses local produce and meat.

It fresh, if not a little different to what we were used to eating in London and Hong Kong. Would definitely recommend it if you're looking for a good Chinese restaurant in Tauranga.
