Yum Cha Restaurants in Melbourne

Crystal Jade Melbourne This upmarket eatery centres most of its menu around seafood, much of which is still swimming in the tanks that line one wall as you head to your table. The seafood dishes might range from a traditional Singapore chilli mud crab to a more unusual wok-fried live lobster with French goose liver pate. The mix of tradition and the avant-garde extends to the rest of the menu, which includes braised Japanese beche de mer with fish maw and Chinese fungus. For dessert, the sublime double-boiled bird's nest (in crystal sugar, lotus seed, creme de almond or creme de chestnut) comes hot or cold and is worth the splurge. more
