South China Dim Sum Bar in Long Street

After we'd tasted the great selection of White wines at Caroline's Review,

we headed up to the top of Long Street

following Sebastian and Nici Beaumont's recommendation,

to the South China Dim Sum Bar

where, perchance, we found chef/author Marlene van der Westhuizen

and her husband, Deon

A good variety and friendly prices on the menu

and a very neat little kitchen

Lynne wrote our order on a napkin to make life easy for our waitress

who was especially friendly, enthusiastic and very hard-working

After all the young white wines, nothing tastes quite as good as a beer

even if it is made from rice

dinner served in the finest bone china - what the hell, it tasted good

a short, but well-chosen and very reasonably priced wine list

The Chef is the Boss & writes the bills

in a good place for serious conversation and kung fu posters

good coffee, we're told

and very good food
