A visit to Dandelion for their special Yum Cha lunch on offer this month only. They presented eight dishes and all quite different from the usual Chinese yum cha fare, however, naturally, this was a Vietnamese version! We enjoyed the dishes but not the noise within the restaurant. Thankfully we dined at lunchtime and only had to imagine what the level would be during a full dinner service.
