House of Yum Cha
The meaning behind
YUM CHA (pronounced yám chàh) - means 'drink tea' in Cantonese, has its origins in the ancient Chinese tradition of tea houses where travelers would stop for a rest and refreshment. These refreshments would often be dumplings or baos. Much akin to modern high tea in Western culture.

Founder
Richard
"While at University, I would work at a Japanese fast food restaurant and experiment with new recipes. With what little money I earned, I would endeavour to try to discover new restaurants and cuisines. Taking photos of each dish to analyse the ingredients."
I'm passionate about telling stories through food and photography. Each offering at House of Yum Cha is inspired by cultural traditions and personal experiences, creating an exquisite product that is both educational and delightful.
Through House of Yum Cha, I've had the opportunity to work with amazing chefs, understand their crafts and learn new recipes to bring unique dumplings, baos and even springrolls to life! I'm happy to see our products enjoyed by the masses while supporting local businesses at the same time. It's a win-win situation.
