Yum Cha Cuisine, Westfield Garden City Quite a while ago, the in-laws took me to Yum Cha Cuisine in Garden City for my birthday dinner in September. There are a number of Yum Cha Cuisine branches and the one in Garden City was the only one I have visited so far. It was busy that night, however the service was still impeccable.  We ordered one of the set dinner, which was served with free soup and steamed rice. Besides that, we had additional small meals from the dim sum menu ( still ava ilable during dinner service ).

Our friendly bartender/waitstaff had our order and I could not wait for our meals to arrive! First up were the Longtime's bao (chicken, pork and soft shell crab). I did not try the soft shell crab bao because crab is considered a ' no no ' in pregnancy having afraid that the baby will have 11 fingers!! Well, I had some during first trimester and Little G has 10 toes and 10 fingers... Back to their baos: They were pretty small in siz...

Vintaged Bar and Grill, Brisbane CBD Pardon me for the slow updates and reviews in Memories Treasure Chest! Recently, we just welcomed a new addition to our family and parenthood is so new, exciting and challenging at the same time. While the Little G is asleep n ow, and I myself not fe eling sleepy, I thought I should just catch up on this blog! The Mr had his birthday celebration this year in Vintaged Bar and Grill , located in Hilton Brisbane hotel . The visit was new for both of us and I was amazed at how big and spacious Vintaged is. Once seated, we bro wsed through the menu and made our order. For me it is quite simple tossi ng between fish or chicken as I need to have fully cooked protein while t he Mr chose the steak. First off, we were give n complimentary bread with a side sprea d (possibly caps icum based) and I thoro ughly enjoyed them.  Next off, we tried one of the th eir special entre e of the month/season and chose the chicken with couscous. Although t...
