Hi kaydee-Yes my husband loved it when it was managed by the previous owners but this was more for the cost! That’s rather frustrating about the trolleys going past, it’s one of my personal dislikes

GC used to be a family favourite for Sunday yum-cha lunch. Perhaps it was around the time it changed owners, but things suddenly went downhill very quickly. The food was ok, not fantastic, but more often than not the trolley would go sailing past in favour of an Asian patroned table. Most frustrating! Have not been back for a while now, and although it’s getting harder and harder to find a nice yum-cha place in Sydney, sadly I still wouldn’t go back to GC.

Hi Maria-It’s really good, I’d love to hear what you think of it! You can’t go wrong with Bread Top ‘Twas a lovely lunch indeed!

I’ve been wanting to try mashed taro upon your recommendations! I love the idea of the crispy/chewy dumpling also. I love that kind of exterior!

I’ve eaten a sweet-treat like that at a ‘Bread Top’ franchise that has a sweet bean interior.. not sure from memory what..but the balls are are crispy, chewy with a sesame seed coating. Just so delicious.

Looks like it was a nice lunch, thanks so much for sharing

Hi Iron Chef Shellie-I think I feel compelled to order them as they are just so cute!

Hi Kyle-Thanks! So might say verbose (haha my husband) but I prefer prolific so thankyou

Hi grace-A photographer friend once told me that it was all about light and it doesn’t matter what the subject looks like. I didn’t believe her until I started taking pics myself. It’s true, as long as you have good light, anything can look good. Haha and I didn’t take it personally as she was photographing me at the time she told me that

Hi melissah-Yes it seems to have been the only Chinese restaurant in N Syd for ages! We go when we can’t be bothered going to Chatswood as it’s closer

Hi Alexandra-It is hard, I usually get my husband to take them but since he wasn’t here today I took these. So thanks, I feel chuffed that my photography is improving!

I agree with grace…you take beautiful pictures even in restaurants…I find it so hard to take a good picture at a restaurant!

I go to Greenwood Yum Cha quite a bit with friends from work and whilst we don’t love it, there is no other YC in North Sydney.

Dishes that I do love there are their thin egg nodles and bbq pork bund - absolutely delightful!

how you manage to take such perfect pictures even in a restaurant environment is beyond me. teach me your ways!
while you’re at it, i’d love a pumpkin-shaped dumpling, please.
