Yum Cha is a Cantonese breakfast tradition of drinking tea while eating all sorts of steamed and fried dim sums. It is best done during weekends where everyone is free because of its leisurely nature that could stretch on to lunch.
Hubby's good-natured "transporter", Mr. Mui, usually takes us to yum cha at the Dynast's Hotel near our place but since they are undergoing renovations in their restaurant, he took us to the one at Dong Cheng Hotel in Daliang two weeks ago. Hubby and I found that this is by far the best yum cha in Shunde so as a small "thank you" to Mr. Mui, we brought him back there yesterday.
I believe it is a very popular yum cha restaurant in Daliang because no matter how large the dining area is (and they are in two levels of the hotel), it is always full of people and for the two times we went there, the waiting list has always been so long and parking of course is very hard.
Aside from their nice and tasty yum cha selections, this restaurant also serves a wide variety of seafood that you can easily see as they are displayed right at the lobby. I should give them credit for introducing me to some sea creatures that I've never seen before in my life like some "giant mussels" (which by the way I really don't know what they are called), "elephant trunk" clams, stone-like fishes, giant lobsters, sea snakes and turtles. They also have two kinds of snakes inside large white tubs which turned my joints to jelly just by looking at them (they have this effect on me). I have always wondered how the latter would taste but one thing is certain: turtles and snakes will never ever end up on my plate!
