[@jojosanrio3966]

Have never actually been , but their food looks amazing 🤩

[@shazx6941]

Mango pancake ❤️

[@jennaiiy3318]

Chicken feet is compulsory for me

[@bronny172]

My faves are pork buns, custard tarts and the fried calamari. I've never been brave enough for the tripe and chickens feet but you are inspiring me! I'll check this restaurant out next time I'm at Macquarie Centre.

[@cryptolord9826]

Born raised in sydney best yum cha I've had must be inside parramatta shopping centre do try 😳

[@BunASMR]

Hope the border opens soon so I can travel to Sydney to try those amazing looking buns! 🤤

[@JaniceFung]

Char siu bao and the milky bun are my favesss

[@monicamuljadi]

Btw.. I recommend yumcha at Vinh Phat in Cabramatta. You cant go wrong with that place.. Everything is delicious..

[@JaniceFung]

I have made a note, thank you!

[@Ammmmmyyyy]

I love Vinh Phat!! It’s so cheap and delish

[@angelswings7024]

I've been there once or twice. Always a long queue. Going upstairs. Have they installed an elevator, or escalator, or anything for the elderly and the people with a physical disability?

[@Ammmmmyyyy]

@@angelswings7024 The queue is long but goes pretty quickly! and no elevator yet my partner had to hold our pram on the stairs

[@angelswings7024]

@@Ammmmmyyyy oh damn. The elderly and people with a physical disability will struggle to get up somehow, unless they have a family member, a friend or a carer with them.

[@irena-talita]

Oh wow this yum cha looks so good I really love the prawn Harlow and fried calamari actually I love all of it ..Great video Janice ..x❤️😍

[@mladenvidic7905]

Thankyou! Your a godsend! I always ask my mother in law what is the name of this dish. Everyone looks at me like a freak when I tried to explain to them. Seen jok Guen !Is a dish I thought had disappeared from the Yumcha scene. It was a dish that apart from the Phoenix claws that made always see yumcha as a delightful experience. But 20 years ago that dish was served with some marinated ginger and garlic soy sauce .The stuffing looks the same . Back then The stuffing was mostly wood ear mushroom ,watercress, bamboo shoot ginger and some greens. Today I see that it is served in a sweet sauce that looks to be ginger based. This gem of a find and I have you to thank for that.

[@JaniceFung]

Im glad I was able to help! Haha

[@ritachao334]

Can you film more videos with Amy!!! Love both of your energy in the last video 😆😆😆😆😆

[@JaniceFung]

Yeah she was so fun to hang out with!

[@nicolasrobitaille3259]

HaHa! the dynamic of the video is so different with your siblings, you all seems to have so much fun, hilarious! 😂I enjoyed!

[@JaniceFung]

Haha Its always nice to have them on, makes filming much more easier and fun

[@nicolesydneylife]

Hi Janice, love watching your vlogs, you get all my favs, prawn hargow, shui mai and the rice noodles but we get them with prawns. :)

[@JessingThingsUp]

omg missing dim sum so much!! haven't gone since the first wave. these look so yum

[@JaniceFung]

They were pretty good! Where’s your go to for yum cha ?

[@JessingThingsUp]

@@JaniceFung we have a few places we like to go to. Dragon Boat is a fav of ours just north of Toronto. Our 2nd go to unfortunately did not survive the lockdown period and went out of business.

[@JaniceFung]

Oh gosh that makes me so sad to hear :(

[@sheenabelle2816]

So excited about your newsletter! 🤗🤗

[@JaniceFung]

Thank you :)

[@jrsweekly6370]

Wow! I always go to Zilver in central station, it’s pretty good as well! Will definitely go to Panda 🐼 and give it a try

[@mikecroly4579]

Thank you SO much! You are such an enjoyable person! I like your videos very much! Thank you! Please keep it up! (Old Man Mike in Texas)

[@myrtlelau4054]

Thank you Ja no ice for pointing out this restaurant for Yum Cha. We have tried the food there and all were nice plus the great ambience and cleanliness of the place.

[@ivychu7352]

Loved all the food you ordered; Mango Pancakes to finish off yum cha is fantastic!

[@lordwhis1630]

Another awesome vid Jan! Signed up too to Sydney Insider! Cannot wait! Food tour!

[@JaniceFung]

Thank you for watching! One day I will host a food tour for sure so stay tuned 😬

[@bronny172]

You and your sister 😂😂😂 Love the dynamic!

[@JaniceFung]

Haha 😅

[@MrChungming]

amazing.will definitely tried this yum cha place.thanks for sharing..

[@mookatgirl7680]

Yum!!! We haven’t been to yum cha in ages! Actually, the last time is probably when we saw you film your yum cha vlog at Palace 😂 I love tripe!!! Eddy’s favourites are ham sui gok, lo mai go, and the spicy sauce goes with everything 😋 my mum loves gai bao. What’s the seating like at Panda? Well spaced out to comply with Covid distancing? We might try, as we go to Macquarie Centre regularly. Thanks for the recommendation 🙏🏼

[@JaniceFung]

It’s pretty spaced out and when I was leaving I noticed there weren’t TOO many people waiting in line (I went to palace recently and we had to wait 90 mins 😢) we have a lot of favourites overlaps! Ham sui gok is such a goood one! Didn’t include it here bc we were already so full lol

[@mookatgirl7680]

Thanks for the info 🙏🏼 Omg a 90 minute wait? 😳 Hope you enjoyed the food!

[@Ammmmmyyyy]

You can’t go wrong with Marigold and the Palace Chinese Restaurant! My favourite yumcha spots

[@JaniceFung]

I made a video on palace before! That place is one of my faves too

[@naomiyoung6114]

Love watching your posts Janice. Keep up the good work. My family and I recently visited Sydney after lockdown in Melbourne. I took note of some of the restaurants you recommended and Panda Yum Cha is one of the best we’ve tasted. Thank you for your recommendations.

[@JaniceFung]

Glad to hear my videos were of help. Hope you and the family had a good time in Sydney.

[@ChandySaoStreeteats]

I do love a good yum cha feed. All of the food looked amazing. Also good job using the correct pronunciation on each item ✌✌

[@JaniceFung]

Thank you!

[@KungfuReview]

Ohh the dimsum is soo good!!! this place looks amazing

[@JaniceFung]

Yeah their decoration is actually pretty cool !

[@sltga1254]

After having Yum Cha in Hong Kong, I rarely go to Yum Cha here in Sydney now.

[@never4ever386]

Your loss really. There’s always going to be a number 1 spot which doesn’t mean the rest should be overlooked.

[@sws2049]

Is this news letter still available?

[@suejmaryoung]

My favourite dim sum is the chicken bun with the ginger inside. The pomelo mango sago dessert caught my eye! In Toronto our dim sum are slightly larger in size!

[@JaniceFung]

Oooo can’t go wrong with a chicken bun! and I am going to tdot for dim sums if they are larger!!!

[@OzSweetness]

My parents do the same with the tea at the beginning. I thought it was just them haha

[@lizbethmilarpis4459]

This is really good. One of the things I miss in Sydney.

[@1pairfatchopsticks]

Will go and try this place very soon...... yum 😋

[@JaniceFung]

Hope you guys enjoy it as much as my fam did!

[@linnyunt]

What a feast! Char siu bao, siu mai, sticky rice and congee are my go-tos. And mango pudding with evaporated milk and custard tarts for dessert.

[@Hadrianus01]

My favourite Yum Cha places are Marigold and the Eight. But this place at Macquarie Centre looks great! I'd also like to try Zilver and Mr Wong.

[@JaniceFung]

I’ve never been to my wong for yum cha actually . If you go let me know how you like it and whether it’s worth going !

[@b1a1p1p1a1]

You are the queen of food vlog!!!

[@teflon-don4796]

Love the content. Happy new Subscriber. Looking forward to more vlogs👌👌

[@kimtran5688]

We do that too! Clean all the utensils, bowls, and cup with tea to "clean" . Then discard afterward. It's a dim sum thing I thought.

[@JaniceFung]

Yeah ikr! Sometimes some places even offer a bowl for you to discard the tea

[@tims85]

I think love the fried cheung fan with peanut sauce the most... I haven't been able to find it anywhere else in the world except for Sydney, so whenever I'm in Sydney I have to get it!

[@graemespeed4285]

Ooooo all the dishes looked good Janice. Watched on big screen again and came here for the comment and 👍🏻 Was at Macquarie today, didn’t even know it was there!

[@JaniceFung]

Thanks so much Graeme!

[@angelswings7024]

This is one yum cha restaurant in Sydney's suburbs that I haven't dined in yet. I'll may go there within this fortnight or so. Thanks, Janice for your vlogs. You explain each yum cha item much better in English than I can. When I'm trying to explain what the dim sums are and what's the ingredients in them to my non Chinese friends, my description is just a little bit off the mark. 100% for your video presentation. 加油!

[@JaniceFung]

Thank you so much! What other yum cha places do you go to ?

[@angelswings7024]

@@JaniceFung You're welcome. I used to go to Parramatta Phoenix at Westfield Parramatta, but that closed down. There's Tingha Palace at Parramatta Leagues, there's Rhodes Phoenix, used to go to Iron Chef at Cabramatta. Crystal Seafood Restaurant at Carlingford Court.

[@Dinki-Di]

Love prawn hargow, sui mai, steamed Chinese greens, pork belly and chicken feet. My all time favourite dessert is coconut jelly, and a second is a bowl of yung dou fou (young tofu). Sorry for my bad spelling. How do you think Panda compares to Phoenix at Rhodes?

[@PumpkinQween]

All the food looked so good! Except for the egg tart. Puff pastry all the way!

[@JaniceFung]

Yes! Me too, my preference is always puff pastry

[@michaelj2528]

Always interesting and fun . Let's hope things get back to some sort of normal soon so people can travel again . Nice vlog as always stay safe

Hi Janice, awesome content. Can I ask if you know the brand of the chilli sauce they used at yum cha ? ( not the the sate chilli oil) I've been looking everywhere at the Asian grocery stores and could not find the exact same one. Thank you in advance :)

We normally just go to Mandarin Centre one which is cheap but this one seem much better .. May go and try with Family one weekend in April .. Thanks for doing this video ☺🙏

GREAT VLOG, JANICE! :D

[@philho1565]

That's a little unusual, the 鮮竹捲 (bean curd roll) that I'm used to usually has minced pork and wood ear in the filling. I'd also mention that the Ma Lai Gao is steamed rather than baked like a traditional cake. Along with the classics (some of which you didn't mention) I also like the fried whitebait (not sure if it's available there) and Nor Mai Gai 😀

[@JaniceFung]

Oooo yes I love all the ones you mentioned! I’m not sure what the sesame seed fried doughnut is though

[@winstondight]

Hey Janice, I have a suggestion. Try three pub meals. The Glebe Hotel is fantastic. The Sunday roast includes Yorkshire pudding and all the trimmings. The rest of the menu is also great! Enjoy

[@JaniceFung]

Love this! Thank you for the suggestion !

[@czyw8196]

OMGOSH the washing of the yum Cha bowls and cups etc hahaha so true - my parents did it when I was young - I think it’s cos they know in China the restaurants don’t really take cleanliness highly so they wash it themselves.

[@Prankzterstarr]

Come to think of it! My pops too! Whhahaha I think it’s the Asian thing!

[@JaniceFung]

Haha all the aunties and uncles i know (as in my parents friends) do it too

A bit out of the way!? .... North Ryde! ...... I drove to Rylstone from Gosford for Yum cha lol ..... it was pretty excellent too.

[@JaniceFung]

Haha no I meant the restaurant isn’t in the centre you have to walk outside Where in Gosford did u go??

[@BarryJTaylor]

@@JaniceFung no I went to Rylestone ..... which is a little scenic country town near Mudgee ..... we drove there from near Gosford. Was so interesting to have a little dumpling/tea house in a little old out of the way Aussie country town ( google "Yum cha Rylstone" ) Then you wont think out the back of Macquarie centre is so far lol. Around Gosford we used to go to Yum cha at Erina Fair .... but I think they stopped during covid ... havent checked if they are doing Yum cha again yet. They had the best Spicy Deep Fried Squid Tenticles .... which I think you were describing when you talked about the calamari.

[@chinescarioca]

Lor bak gou goes well with the oyster sauce.

[@JaniceFung]

Oh yesss it does indeed

[@JoFamily92]

Hi Janice , me and my husband always follow your video . Can you share the name of the place location of the restaurant please and information about the price ?
