Overview
Next time you're catching up with mates for dim sum, take your outing to the next level. Learn to play an ancient Chinese game at the same time, at the Mahjong Room's Mahjong Playlunch. Every Saturday in February, the venue's Mahjong masters will be running three-hour educational sessions for newbies.
You'll be sat down at a board, given an instruction booklet, fed a steady stream of dim sum, and let loose to play. All afternoon, your tutors will be on standby, doling out personal tips and tricks.
Unfamiliar with the Mahjong Room? It was set up in 2002 by Hong Kong natives William Hui and Erika Chan, who wanted to share their childhood memories — consisting of fun, family, tradition and tasty, tasty food — with Sydney. The menu includes blue swimmer crab dumplings, tiger prawn and chicken wontons, and steamed XO rice paper rolls, among many other mouthwatering morsels.
Note that you Mahjong takes four people to play, so bookings will be only accepted in multiples of four. You can brush up on your four times tables over here.
