The Sun does shine

Ah, on Tuesday morning the sky was blue and there was some sun up there, we grabbed the chance to take an early morning walk before organising some things to do "out of the house". We spent some time up in Southport catching up on some odds and ends and on the way home we were feeling a tad hungry, so decided to call into a local restaurant up the road to try out their Yum Cha. It is literally within walking distance from home. We had heard good reports, so decided to give it a "taste". First observation at 12 noon was that the tables were packed with Asians - very good sign. The wait staff were so courteous and the Yum Cha dishes came out very hot direct from the kitchen, they also whisked away the dirty dishes very quickly, and continually refilled the tea pot and water. It was an excellent Yum Cha at Dim Sum Delights.
This restaurant is tucked away from the busy coastal precincts in a small, but most unattractive "bitty" shopping complex - a little bit of something here and a little bit of something there - absolutely no flow to it what so ever, however it has some outstanding little restaurants - including a wonderful french cafe - La Porte Verte, a great Thai al fresco, a Tavern, a couple of italian and so it goes on.
We were so pleased with this Yum Cha we mentioned it to one of our neighbours, and low and behold he told us it was owned and run by the chinese couple we bought this house from - they opened the Dim Sum Delights just one year ago - small small world again!
