I had never been to Yum Cha till last Friday when a friend of mine took me to a restaurant for lunch for my birthday. I found that particular place served very salty food.

the one we went to yesterday was in Chinatown, so a lot more authentic I think. Most of the other diners were Asian, so I guess that says something. It wasn't salty at all. in fact, at one stage I was thinking about adding salt, but then decided against it. Obviously I'm hard to keep happy!

I hope your Mum enjoyed the lunch. I know she really wanted more of the fried type foods that she was saying are more popular as far as chinese dining goes in the UK, but most of the stuff we had was steamed, which I liked personally, because my tolerance for fried stuff is pretty low atm. I think she really enjoyed the custard tart at the end though. I know I did. lol
