My Melbourne cousins took me to the Oriental Tea House on Chapel Street for lunch on a very hot Sunday. We were all very hungover and fast and delicious yum cha with a wondrous selection of fine teas was the perfect solution to our woes.

I remembered eating here a couple of years ago last time I came to Melbourne and this visit did not disappoint either. I went to lunch with a friend.

Great food and variety. Great price!! Everything came to the table quickly. Except drinks. Very slow. Same for the tables around us.

We were seated and welcomed with a tea tasting which was very refreshing. The dumplings we had were delicious and the pot of silver needle tea wonderful.

We had dinner in the rear of the restaurant. The area we were in was very hot, I'm not sure if the airconditioner was on. The food was good nothing to rave on about.
