Some of the selections offered
We had our Christmas gathering with Dh's side of the family yesterday. This year we simplified and pared things way down. After swapping gift certificates last year, we opted for putting our gift budgets towards lunch. Yum Cha is the only way this family could possibly go, in order to avoid the massive amounts of work required to feed and clean up after 20-ish people.
The "children", most of whom are now adults, sat at one table and ate like kings and queens. These children are far too well educated in the ways of international food, particularly when Malaysians number within the clan. Mr Busy sat next to one of his cousin's wives. She ensured he was well fed. The kids complained they were being banished, but really I think they had way more fun. They are a hilarious bunch when all together.
Chinese custard tarts are usually the sought-after dessert following Yum Cha. My preference is this mango mousse. Lighter. Refreshing. Cool. In all honesty, however, yesterday I indulged in both.
