Sunday 2/3 was a lovely bright sunny day. We went to Southbank for dim sum at Red Emperor. It was our first time as all the other times we went by, they were fully booked. We would then end up in Miyako, a Japanese restaurant just next door. I especially love the green tea and seafood fried rice. It's one of the best I've eaten.
Anyway back to Red Emperor, we got there at 3:15pm. On Sundays, their kitchen stays open until 4pm for lunch, so there were still trays of hot piping dim sum being pushed out on trolleys. We got about 9 different dim sum dishes, mostly steamed. It's the best I've eaten so far in Melbourne but it's quite pricey so you get what you pay. It costed us $72. Red Emperor is owned by the same owners as Taipan in Doncaster East.
I like the dim sum in Taipan too. Taipan serves bigger portions at cheaper prices, wider variety of dim sum to choose from, more tables available albeit the further driving distance. So it depends on what you are after, both are equally good. As usual, I was too hungry and forgot to take photos of the dainty dim sum dishes at Red Emperor . I would definitely go back for another meal.
