Red Door Antiques & Yum Cha Cafe

Edward Borland says Red Door Antiques & Yum Cha Cafe is great for yum cha. (5 months ago)

Very tasty yum cha. This place started out as a Chinese furniture store and the food came later. I wanted to lie down on the big bed on the way in.

It’s quietly tucked away down a side street off Chapel St up near Dandenong Road. Some delicious seafood dumplings. Scallops. mmmm yum! Great Sunday hangover remedy.

The staff are nice and it’s peaceful and slightly kookie.

Haven’t actually been there yet but heard good things about it from friends. It has also featured in this year’s Cheap Eats guide. Here is a snippet from the review:

“Dumplings and jasmine tea make for perfect bedfellows, especially in one of Red Door’s Beijing marriage beds. Down a grungy side street, this Chinese antique store now serves yum cha and you can consummate your dim sum amid ornate bird cages and turn of the century tea chests. There are steamed buns stuffed with sweet morsels of bbq pork, spicy lamb jiao zi (dumplings) in edible translucent wrappers, and a dome of sticky rice studded with mushroom. Follow with endless pots of tea and addictive coconut custard buns that pull apart to reveal a lemon yellow colour burst. “

Mmmmm sounds delicious :)
