NorthBridge Chinese Restaurant 30th Sept 2012

Sunday Morning Brunch in Perth

Looking for something to do after the 7km walk or 15km bicycle ride. Some hot tea to go with savouries or sweets. Tea has some caffeine so beware if you don't want another high ontop of the endorphins already flowing around.

Fried Squid - The green chili added some spice. 1 piece per person to watch the cholesterol.

Ribs in black bean sauce - for meat lovers and if you are doing weights or trying to bulk up.

Shanghai Dumplings - don't pop the skin or you lose the soup inside. Nice after a swim in the ocean by the beach. Warms you up.

Prawn Dumplings - prawn fixation after the aerobics session.

Chicken Feet for those who like smooth & gooey taste with lots of bone to pick on. Low on carbs but energy foot if you are training for a half marathon.

Meat Dumplings wholesome with lots of mince pork. Some places add prawn to jazz it up. Also good for medium intensity weight training. Lots of protein.

Horse Radish Cake a traditional breakfast favourite best served warm after being pan fried lightly. Nice after a 30 minute aerobics or Pilate's session.

Steamed Roast Pork Bun with white fluffy pastry which has a slightly sweet taste. Light on the stomach and suits a yoga session afterwards.

Rice Crepes with prawns and soy sauce. Best eaten steaming hot from the steamer with chili. Avoid the oil dressing and go to the front of the aerobics class.

Silken Tofu with light sugar syrup. This is great if you did not do any physical activity before coming to brunch. High protein with some sucrose to kick start the day.

Steamed rice in lotus leaves. A filling dish with mince pork, yolk of preserved eggs and glutinous rice. Steamed after being wrapped in lotus leaves. Definitely for the ultra long distance bike rider who needs to increase blood sugar levels quickly. High GI (glycemic index) beware if you don't need the carb overload.

The seating is reserved when you turn up at the door. Usually there is a queue on a Sunday morning for brunch. No bicycle parking but runners are allowed. Porridge or rice congee is another alternative if want some carbs but don't want the fat. This is available at the restaurant.
