Yum cha dishes are generally served with three dishes per dish so Sandra had the bright idea that Pat should join us for lunch today at Pearl Liang so we could order a wider variety of dishes. Although this did work out logistically we somehow still ended up eating way more than we normally would so nearly rolled out of the restaurant!

Pearl Liang is supposed to be one of the better yum cha restaurants in London and in times past when I’ve visited they’ve normally delivered. On today’s visit, though the food was reasonably of good quality though not as good as I remembered it to be, the service was absolutely horrid. The restaurant was busy (so if you want to come always make sure to book) but that was no excuse for the lack of service that we got. For a start the restaurant didn’t have enough menus to even give one menu per person and secondly we could hardly get the attention of any wait staff to get our orders in. It was very disappointing.
