What we’re about

Crazy for custard buns? Sucker for spring rolls? Curious about chicken feet?
The Wellington Yum Cha Association is all about getting together for yum cha on a regular basis. No experience necessary. Beginners and expert dim sum wranglers welcomed. This is a great way to brunch!

Basic info; be prepared to, and want to(!), eat a variety of food. Best not to have breakfast beforehand, but of course up to you. We'll try to let you know for each activity whether the restaurant will let us each pay by card or whether we need to all bring cash. It differs per venue nowadays. Be prepared to pay an equal share of what we communally eat (drinks own cost). Negotiating payment amount is not a thing :(

Note, 90% of yum cha dishes, which we all share, are not suitable for vegetarians, vegans, dietary needs, etc.

For more details check our about the group document.

November Yum Cha - Grand Century Chinese Restaurant
Grand Century Chinese Restaurant, 84 Tory Street, Wellington, NZ
Yum Cha - November edition.

We're at Grand Century, 84 Tory Street, Te Aro this time. I'll call them with updates to numbers but provisionally 12 are booked. Note, I will be away in China until 16th Nov, and Kenny will be away all of November, so communications might be slow.

1. We will go Dutch and try to pay by EFTPOS. The meetup fees (that Kenny & Tim pay to host the group) have increased, so we basically need to add $2 to each person to help split those fees. e.g. $28.50 becomes $30.50. We can explain the MeetUp fee during the event if you want to know more about it.

2. Please RSVP if you genuinely intend to come, and cancel the rsvp if you can't then make it. We do need to keep the restaurant happy by not booking tables that we don't use or vice versa.

3. We often go for coffee nearby afterwards.
