Mya Tiger Yum Cha

Overview

UPDATE Thursday, July 28: Mya Tiger's Yum Cha series has been extended until the end of August. The following has been updated to reflect the change.

As the temperatures start to dip, you're probably looking for some fresh ways to keep the chills at bay through Melbourne's frosty season. Well, we've found a banger — the Espy's contemporary Cantonese diner Mya Tiger is spicing up your life with a new limited-edition weekly yum cha offering.

From 11am every Sunday, through May, June, July and August, this $58 feasting situation will see you dive into a shared spread of starters, followed by your choice of six yum cha dishes. Tick your selections off on the menu slip — a la all those old-school Chinatown joints — and get ready to chow down on the likes of truffle pork siu mai, sesame prawn toasts, chicken and vegetable gyoza, lamb spring rolls and more.

There's a slew of add-ons available if you're feeling extra peckish, including soy egg noodles ($8) and a spanner crab fried rice ($23).

Unlike your more traditional yum cha offerings, this one also features a soundtrack of DJ tunes. And, in addition to Chinese tea, you'll be able to pair your feast with an exclusive lineup of four-person teapot cocktails ($40), including a pear and spiced oolong number, and one teaming Four Pillars Bloody Shiraz with pomegranate and Thai basil.
