Sydney food bloggers meetup for yumcha
13 October 2008, 03:50
Its been more than a year since the last meetup and it has been way overdue with the recent flood of bright-eyed food loving bloggers on the scene. Christie from the awesome Fig & Cherry organised our shindig and it was great to meet (and re-meet): helen from Grab Your Fork, lorraine from Not Quite Nigella, jen from jenius, qingling and howard from Eat Show and Tell, reem from i am obsessed with food, belle and william from Ooh, look, lisa from Spicy Icecream and kathryn from Limes and Lycopene. as the food arrived there was a slight pause and some sheepish grins as we whipped out our cameras before diving in
yum cha at east ocean (421 – 429 Sussex St, Haymarket). service was chirpy and the trolley ladies were slightly bemused as our table raced to be the first to take a photo of the dimsum they had just placed on our table
heh i took photos of the savoury food but uh i was alot more interested in the desserts =D funny how theyre all yellow it’s like im back in my high school yellow food phase again… we didnt order the watermelon holding fruit salad but it looked so pretty being wheeled out on the trolley… a giant thanks to belle and william for ordering me the thousand layer cake! for nearly 10 years i have been looking for this ‘cake’! more of the texture of a steamed bun but with layers of sweet dough alternating with a slightly salty egg custard ah good times
and as is tradition, a photo of all us… from behind! for those not wanting our identity revealed heh i dunno about everyone else but i was still smiling when the waiter took this shot of our behinds…
it was great to meet everyone! hope we get together soon dudes!

What a gorgeous idea! I love the photo of you all, I can’t imagine what the wait staff were thinking when you all turned around for the photo! :P
— Iron Chef Shellie Oct 13, 09:43 AM #Ha, it was fun. Did you really eat a donut after that ice cream? lol. And yeah I was definitely smiling in that photo, but I think it was more at the thought of the bemused waiter!
— Helen Oct 13, 11:03 AM #awww – couldn’t you show us your faces!! Looks like you all had a great time with some yummy looking food :)
— Renee Oct 13, 12:43 PM #I was smiling while facing the back as well! How funny! Was great to meet you – see ya Thurs!! :)

Ahhh, looks like an awesome time! Will hope that the next one is soon haha :) What’s the dessert in the bottom right of the compilation picture? The one in the watermelon looking fruit…Or is it actually a watermelon but miniaturised on my laptop screen :S
— D Oct 13, 10:21 PM #Was great to meet you Size. I think you might rival me for having an endless stomach too!
— Howard Oct 13, 11:40 PM #hey suze, i read that you’ve never found the thousand layer cake before? They actually also sell it at “fook yuen” yumcha at chatswood..
— Lisa Oct 13, 11:43 PM #I have nothing but respect the capacity of your stomach! It was so lovely to finally meet you, I will definitely try to come down to the markets one day and visit!
— Lisa Oct 14, 10:38 AM #Hey Suze! I was smiling when we had our backs to the camera too…. hehehe…
It was awesome catching up with ya! I’ll remain forever amazed at your appetite :-)
Hope to do this again soon!

That group photo is hilarious! Did you guys explain to the waiter about the reason behind the turned backs? If not, I can’t imagine what he would’ve thought!
— Y Oct 14, 09:50 PM #It was certainly a fun lunch. Wills is still talking about how much food you put away!
