Yum Cha Experience

This year’s Valley Fiesta will feature the premiere of Yum Cha Sunday, a culinary experience like no other.

If you’re after an affordable and unique dining experience, bring your family and friends this Sunday to the Chinatown mall in fortitude valley for authentic eastern cuisine and enjoyable live entertainment.

All the neighbouring restaurants in Chinatown will be joining forces to provide their tasty services for this special event. Don’t let the name fool you -Yum Cha Sundays will be offering far more than your average garden variety Yum Cha. Tastebuds will be treated to an endless array of ethnic delights, ranging from Vietnamese, Chinese, and spicy Thai cuisine. There really is no better way to satiate your tastebuds than this diverse variety of eastern gastronomic grub.

“All the neighbouring restaurants in China town will be providing the food for the event.” Margaret Nguyen, owner of the Red Lotus restaurant, said. “There’s about six restaurants participating”
This eatery extraordinaire is completely new for Valley Fiesta, with Yum Cha Sunday set to makes its debut a successful one.
“This is the first year that Yum Cha Sundays will occur. We’ll have to see how it goes.” Margaret said. “We’re hoping that it’ll be crowded in China town mall, and this will give us a bit more business in the area.”
Not only will patrons be treated to a delicious and affordable banquet, but this year’s event will feature the spectacular Pyrophone Juggernaught, a cross between a dazzling light show and a tightly choreographed percussion performance. Diners will be able to observe the flame emitting multi octave organ in between bites of Mongolian beef.

After you’ve consumed your delicious meal, take time out to see the many amusements Chinatown has to offer. There are the lively and animated supermarkets, the exotic teahouses and the authentic oriental architecture that is spaced throughout the culturally rich neighbourhood. Upon entering the square you’ll be greeted by a pair of 320 kilogram stone lions, whose purpose is to guard against evil spirits and stands as a symbol of friendship. Once you’ve experienced all that Chinatown has to offer, you’ll be sure to return. So if you’re after cheap yet appetizing chow, make sure you don’t miss this unique event.

Yum Cha Sunday will be held from eleven till three in the Chinatown mall on the twelfth of September.
