Overview
Got brunch plans? Cancel them. Whatever they were, we just found a better option. House of Crabs in Redfern is relaunching its monthly Yum Cha brunch series, and the first sitting is happening today.
Happening once a month between now and October, the Yum Cha series will bring an Asian twist to the crab shack's usual Louisiana-style menu, delighting diners with dishes such as steamed bao cheeseburgers, char siu octopus tacos, and pulled pork and prawn spring rolls. They've even got Chinese malted mantou served with caramel ice-cream for dessert.
As for drinks, you can choose between a number of cocktails, including a Long Breakfast Martini made with gin, apricot brandy, lemon, mint and marmalade, and the Wasabi Mary, a Bloody Mary made with wasabi and soy sauce.
The first iteration of House of Crabs' Yum Cha kicks off in...oh, about an hour. According to their Facebook there are still walk-in spots available though, so throw on your bib and scurry on down. Further dates are still being kept under wrap, although we'd suggest you keep any further long weekends in the next few months free.
House of Crabs is located above The Norfolk at Level 1, 305 Cleveland Street, Surry Hills. For more information about their Yum Cha sessions keep your eyes on their Facebook and Instagram.
