The Manor in my opinion is one of Brisbane’s best kept secrets. A popular place for the Chinese community in Brisbane, The Manor in Eight Mile Plains provides quality yum cha at affordable prices. While it’s great to have trolleys coming around when it comes to yum cha, you often to have to wait for something you like to come by or when it does come, there’s a huge chance that it could be dry and cold. Yum Cha at the manor is a bit different. They serve everything on a yum cha menu but when you first go in and sit down, you’ll be given the menu and a pencil and you mark what items you want. The cooks will then prepare everything so it’s nice and fresh and hot. Meals are then served in a staggered fashion. Service is good at the Manor but don’t expect your waiter/waitresses to be fluent in English.
I went today with a group of friends. Between five of us we shared 18 servings including siew mai, chicken feet, steamed prawn dumplings, steamed prawn and coriander rolls, beef tripe, steamed barbeque pork buns, steamed barbeque rice noodles, pearl chicken in sticky rice, deep fried glutinous dumplings, mango pudding and custard egg tarts (just to name a few). We were not disappointed, the quality is above average.
The Manor is my number one choice when it comes to yum cha. Expect to pay about $4.20-$5.80 per serve.
Overall rating 8/10
