I know that the regular readers of scrambledminds.com have been wondering when the next Yum Cha Challenge was going to convene. You’re right, it has been some time since the last one. We’ve had babies, we’ve had weddings, we’ve had honeymoons, we’ve had christmas, we’ve had new years, we’ve had milestone birthdays. I think you get the idea.

So, it was with great gusto that the club responded to the call of Che to try out Manly Phoenix as the next Yum Cha Challenge venue. And what a venue it was. The score clearly shows that this was the most appreciated venue to date. You can see from the picture that this was definitely the case. Luckily there was a view to take the focus off bagging Che out for not making it to the challenge the she organised!

Needless to say, we dug into the food without Che. A pity really as Yum Cha is the best hangover food. Nothing better than tripe, chicken feet and a whole world of indescribable treats being pushed around by pushier trolley ladies. To make up for Che’s absence we alsohad a few newbies (Jay and Hayley).

To sum it all up, there was a lot of raving about the venue. A lot of lobbying by a couple of unnamed individuals (Neil and Julie). However it was adisappointingscore overall. Strange really because I think that the food and location were great!

The Good

• Stunning venue
• The large crowd
• Pretty high standard of Mango Pancakes
• Ruby

The Bad

• Che
• Lack of Lazy Susan!
• Poor overall performance

The Ugly

• Julie trying to hold back from ordering while as everyone was a little late. Not a pretty sight.
