Imperial Peking YUM CHA - Blakehurst

So today i went back to Imperial Peking today for Yum Cha, it was better than the first time i went there, it was fairly busy, and we were seated upstairs, which is a smaller room (see the buliding below). Actually the restaurant layout is not very good for yum cha service...

For those of you who've never been, its customary to drink tea with Yum Cha, its said to help digest the food and disperse the oil. Actually, Yum Cha is literally translated as 'drink tea'.

This is BBQ pork rice rolls - yummy.

Prawn and mango rolls - it was pastry and fried - was nice, but too oily for me, and the mango flavor was not strong enough.
Prawn and asparagus rolls coated in sesame - ok, the prawn flavour was overwhelmed by the sesame though.
Mixed seafood dumpling with corn. The corn was a nice balance to the prawns, but the mixed seafood was limited to school prawns and seafood extender..
Har Gow - Prawn dumplings.

This is my favourite at yum cha normally, but its not great here - too dry.

Sticky rice balls - sticky rice is very common, it has some meat and vegies through it. In this style it is coated in a light egg coating and steamed - quite nice.

I think that is all the dishes we had... It came out to $34 for 2 people, and we were both stuffed and took some BBQ pork rolls home with us. Its nice, and close if you live in Wollongong - but if you get into your Yum Cha, skip this one and go to China town or Chatswood.
