Sydney food bloggers yumcha, Malaysiafest
Is this not the most beautiful thing you have ever seen? Sure at yum cha there are the must have orders of siu mai, har gow, chive dumplings, pork buns and oodles of noodles but for me as soon as I see egg tarts on a trolley I just HAVE to order them even if I have yet to eat my share of the savouries… and so 5 plates of egg tarts lands on our table but not to worry they weren’t all for me because I was here at Marigold along with fellow food bloggers Betty, Billy, Cate, Jacq, Janice, Julie, Karen, Mae, Rachel, Richard, Rita, Simon, Tammi and Thang for a yum cha meet up with Sarah and Vanessa from Nuffnang
I can never go past mango pancakes! Once mango season starts I am determined to make this at home!
Ooh humans!
And more humans!
Still feeling a bit peckish, Karen, Richard, Simon and I head for Tumbalong Park in Darling Harbour where the annual Malaysia Festival was being held. Zomg so many people! It was such a beautiful sunny day that I had braced myself for crazy crowds but luckily the queues for the food stalls weren’t too hectic
Apam balik (2 for $7) are crispy pancakes filled with a crushed peanuts, a dollop of creamed corn and a sprinkle of sugar.
Our crew disperses to join multiple queues and return bearing containers filled with satay, rice cubes and a pool of peanut sauce; fluffy roti and curry sauce, teh tarik ($3), ice chendol ($4) and teh ais ($3). Satisfied with our haul we roll home where someone may or may not have persuaded Karen to swing by El Jannah and score some fabulous charcoal chicken and garlic sauce for dinner mmm so much deliciousness in one day!
