Yum Cha on the coast!

Yes! It is possible to get Yum Cha on the Central Coast!

Dragons Door (near the cinemas) is hidden in the far corner of Erina Fair, and serves delicious parcels of goodness for lunch. A draw card for me for any Yum Cha experience is always the mango pancakes! YUM!

For two people we spent $47.

That's...
6 dishes
1 pot of tea (for 2)
1 Coke.

This is average, price wise, as far as eating out and Yum Cha goes in Sydney. It didn't help, however that there was one vegetarian and one strict non-vegetarian eating. Yum Cha is all about sharing meals. So, obviously this didn't happen.

The vegetarian options are limited, very limited. Basically there are two options, three, if you get them to make the broccoli dish without the oyster sauce. But the two that I had were filling and yummy!

I was told by Dean, my dining partner for the day, that the *cough* chicken feet (yuck) are yummy and so too is the squid.

Menu? Here it is...

Stopping by for lunch

When hunger sets in, you also fell like taking in some magnificent photographs and you're driving through Erina, drop in to the Ken Duncan Gallery.

I'd like to say that this is how it happen for me, but I had other plans originally. After trying to get a seat at the Bamboo Buddha and being not successful (always book on the weekends, its that good!) - The idea of visiting the gallery and the cafe popped up.

The cafe is nice - Being on the main road does make a little noisy but if you get a seat towards the back of the cafe you should be fine! The food is tasty and the cafe hosts a customary cafe menu, a little over priced but the coffee is good and so was the service.


The gallery is really quiet nice. the photographs are beautiful and you constantly here the sounds of 'ahh' and 'ooh' and 'whoa' reverberate around the main room, so you know its worth a visit.
