I went to Yum Cha in Camden recently and was quite impressed, especially for the money. The lamb dumplings were a little robust skin wise but a great flavour with a nice hint of cumin and the savoury vinegary broth they sat in was very good. So much so that I used it as my dipping sauce for the other items. I very much enjoyed the turnip cake. Good outer crust, delicate turnip taste and almost crumpet like texture under the crust. Didn’t get much from the added wind dried meat and shrimp though. The stand out though were the Crystal scallop & prawn dumplings. Very delicate skins and the seafood were perfectly cooked. This was one of those rare occasions were I’d ordered well and would happily go back for exactly the same dishes.
BTW does anyone know anywhere in London that opens for dim sum at breakfast?
