Yum Cha with a difference on the Gold Coast!

Yum Cha literally means “drinking tea” in Cantonese. Yum Cha is a weekend morning tradition around the world, where family and friends gather together to chat, feast & drink Chinese tea. While in Western lands people usually have a meal to themselves, the Chinese custom is for all at the table to share. A variety of dishes are ordered and placed in the centre of the group, allowing everyone to enjoy the selection.

Be the first to delight in our traditional Yum Cha lunch with a difference. The inaugural Sunday Yum Cha cruise sets sail on 6th January 2013. Why sit in a conventional restaurant when you can come aboard our floating restaurant and cruise the beautiful waterways of the Gold Coast.

Sample popular Asian delicacies including delicious dumplings, BBQ pork buns, prawn fried rice, salt & pepper calamari, honey glazed chicken, Seafood San Choy Bow and more.

Book now for the first Yum Cha Lunch Cruise.
Five lucky guests onboard the 6th January Cruise will WIN a free return visit. Simply reserve your table to enter.
