Westlake Yum Cha

  • Westlake on Urbanspoon
My usual hang out Yum Cha joint is Gold Leaf and Shark Fin House, this was my first time here and I did enjoy the usual variety. Services during Yum Cha rush hours (brunch time) is same same everywhere, you get the typical "you want? you want?..." then they stroll off to the next table. If the chicken feet is cooked well then my verdict will be the place is worth a visit, there's nothing like going to Yum Cha and not ordering Chicken feet (hint hint: youse who refuse such delicacy don't know what you are missing out on!). I love my runny egg yolk buns too, but I think they overcooked it that day. 
Give Westlake a visit for Yum Cha hours if you haven't, its worth a try, I don't know why they're ratings are average when I personally think all their dumplings and morning tea dishes are pretty good, possibly dinner dishes and services aren't as good. BTW the bill was paid by family and friends, so I don't know if it's overpriced here, by the looks of things on Urbanspoon people are complaining a lot about prices and services... but not a lot of comments are about the food itself.

Green Tea Kit Kat

I'm addicted to this! Green tea Kit Kat is a Japanese flavoured Kit Kat (made in Japan). They sell a packet of 12 minis for about $7AUD in Australia, but in Japan it's cheaper.

The green tea that is sold here doesn't taste as powerful as the green tea Kit Kat originally brought  from Japan, original green tea flavour from Japan taste more creamier, smoother, thicker and stronger, with hint of bitterness. Either way if you really want to try this, they do sell this in a packet of 12 minis in some Asian groceries, I got mine in Point Cook, some where in Highpoint shopping centre and China Town groceries do sell this.

This is a must try if you love everything green tea or Kit Kat or Both. There are a lot of unique flavours sold in Japan but I haven't had the chance to try it yet... maybe one day.

The box below was a gift from a friend who had recently came back from Japan, it contained 10 small boxes with 3 mini packets within each box. So you get 30 mini packets for about $15AUD (cheaper then here). She said it wasn't easy to find in Japan, only sold in Airports and Pharmacies I think.
