 Yum Cha Restaurants known for mouth-watering dim sum delicacies has always been a family favourite and we visited there annually for our chinese new year reunion dim sum brunch. My fondest childhood memories were created there, enjoying dim sum with extended family members.

One key thing to note is that since this is a takeaway menu, we didn't dine in at Yum Cha restaurant. To provide the actual feel of a delivery, everything was served just like how it would've been at your own home. The drinks came in cardboard packaging at 1Litre each, we had Barley drink or chinese tea.

 The barley drink was really sweet, and you would need some ice to chill the drink as well. The chinese tea stayed warm throughout our 2 hours of food tasting!

 So how does food that get delivered to you taste in comparison to eating straight at Yum Cha? Yum Cha did their researched and went with  Cook Tek which is a delivery bag that uses induction to keep all the food warm so that it arrives at your door step piping hot!!

 This is no normal delivery bag, it actually requires charging and has a battery to power up the induction fans to circulate the heat within the bag! Kudos to Yum Cha for the taking innovative effort to let us have warm food!

 A usual offering at all CNY dinner. Fresh fish coupled with fresh ingredients makes this dish a great start to the dinner.

I rarely enjoy eating yusheng but I really enjoyed Yum Cha's salmon yusheng. Their salmon are from AVA certified suppliers and from Norway. So rest assured with all the salmon scares you've seen in the news lately, or just give me all the salmon
I'll happily eat them for you!

 Prepared with jellyfish, pomelo, home made sauces, the Yum Cha staff, Adam went ahead to bless us in the according order as he drizzled the condiments all over the yusheng. I really liked their sour plum sauce. It was slightly sour and yet not too sweet, giving the yusheng the right taste for me.

 As with most chinese tradition, you either get a duck or a chicken during a reunion meal. Yum Cha also offers a roasted crispy duck whole $60+. The chicken wasn't as tender and soft as I had expected it to be. Rather the meat took some effort to be taken off the bone. The skin as well, was a disappointment as it wasn't as crispy as any roasted crispy chicken experiences I've had.

 The meat was still tasty and had a strong aroma of the chopped garlic that was sprinkled all over the chicken.

 The highlight of the evening, and probably a great way to come together and rekindle ties with family members at home is this BBQ Suckling Pig! Not a common sight a dinner table, but surely a favourite for many.

 The skin was crispy but could've been crispier. The meat was juicy and very tasty. Underneath the crispy suckling pig skin was either a very thin layer of fat or no fat at all. You get a lot of meat under the skin! This is one meaty piglet!

 The sweet sauce that comes with the suckling pig was also a good compliment to the savoury meat. You could also taste a slight, smokey, burnt taste in every bite of the meat!

 I loved braised pig's trotter and this was no exception. Delightfully aromatic and with flavours which are strangely familiar and yet alien to me at the same time, it was love at first sight… or taste rather. It was braised until every sinewy tendon was melt-in-your-mouth, but still held its shape well. The flavour was also very balanced, not too spicy, not too sweet. The skin, the tendons, the flesh had me sold.

 Check out the fatt choy! I love how the meat just falls right off the bone and it's so soft and tender. But I also noted there wasn't too much meat in this container, but it is only half a pig's trotter. The rich juices of the braised pig trotters was memorable for me!

5. Fried rice with Chinese sausage in Lotus Leaf $38+

 The rice was all wrapped up in the Lotus Leaf. Taken straight out of the Cook Tek bag, the rice was piping hot and fragrant. But once cooled, the aroma of the rice went away quickly. The steamed rice was accompanied by quality dried shrimps.

 I felt that the rice itself was abit too dry for my liking, it could be that it sat on the table for a while, before I went to help myself with it. But on top of that, the rice could've had more flavour. I found myself mixing the rice with the braised pig trotters sauce in an attempt to add more tastes into the rice.
