Landmark, Shop 101 Cnr Mains Road & McCullough Street, SUNNYBANK QLD 4109
I
can’t remember the last time we had yum cha - It must’ve been
around the beginning of this year.
I
asked for the opinion of one of my colleagues from Hong Kong about
the best yum cha restaurant in town and she told me that it had to be
Landmark.
So
the bunnies ventured out to Sunnybank last Sunday for an authentic
Cantonese feast.
Sunday
has to be the busiest day for any yum cha restaurant. When we arrived
at the place, the area outside was already full of patrons waiting
for tables. We joined the queue and got ours about thirty minutes
later.
Landmark
is considerable in size for a typical Chinese restaurant and it
caters for up to 450 diners. The restaurant is well-lit with its
giant, sparking chandeliers and the chaotic atmosphere and trays of
steamy dim sum reminded me of our trip to Hong Kong last year.
It
took me a while to realise that you can actually take your docket and
go to the yum cha station to pick out whatever that you desire from
trays after trays of freshly steamed dim sum that are nicely
presented in bamboo baskets.
Sure,
the food isn't exactly mind-blowingly amazing, but it is delicious
and the quality is, dare I say it, far superior to a number of the
yum cha restaurants that you get in the city. I thought the highlight
was the crispy skinned pork belly with hot mustard, however the other
travel bunnie preferred the prawns dumplings the best.
Service
could've been better, all the wait staff appeared to be in a great
rush to get to somewhere and it was hard to get anyone's attention.
But other than that, we had a great time.
Total
Bunnie Dollars Spent: $65.
If only the staff would smile or act as if one was welcome in this restaurant, perhaps it's because they're paid $10 an hour & that's a fact! ( cash in hand )
ReplyDeleteChinese friendliness is never a requirement at Landmark , Parkland or in any Chinese restaurant, just the food, the table cloths and the carpet.
