Good Food & Wine Show and the Philippine Christmas Festival: Darling Harbour, 20–22 November
The weekend of Friday 20 to Sunday 22 November is a big one at Darling Harbour. The Good Food & Wine Show Christmas Edition is at ICC Sydney for all three days. On Saturday and Sunday the free Philippine Christmas Festival fills Tumbalong Park, and on Sunday the APDA Senior and Open Advanced National Championships are on at the Darling Harbour Theatre. The Floating Christmas Tree in Cockle Bay is also listed from Friday 20 November.
MuMian Dining is in Darling Quarter, facing Tumbalong Park, and about a 5 to 10 minute walk from ICC Sydney and the TikTok Entertainment Centre. Here is how to plan your weekend around a meal with us.
Good Food & Wine Show Christmas Edition, 20–22 November
If you have spent the day tasting your way around the show floor, a proper sit-down meal is a good way to finish. Lunch is served every day from 11:30am to 3pm, and dinner from 5pm. On Friday and Saturday the kitchen closes at 10pm, and on Sunday at 9:30pm. Roasted Maremma duck, black truffle and pork xiao long buns, and live seafood from our tanks are good dishes to share with friends.
Philippine Christmas Festival in Tumbalong Park, 21–22 November
According to Darling Harbour, the festival runs from 9am to 8pm on Saturday 21 and Sunday 22 November, with a Christmas parade on Saturday from 10am. Tumbalong Park is right in front of MuMian, so it is easy to step out of the crowds for weekend yum cha, served at lunch from 11:30am to 3pm. Steamed prawn and chive jade har gow, pork siu mai and steamed barbecued pork buns are made by hand, and the full list is on our yum cha menu at mumian.au/menu#yumcha.
Concerts on Friday and Saturday night
LANY plays the TikTok Entertainment Centre on Friday 20 November and All Of Us on Saturday 21 November. For an evening show, book a table for 5 to 6pm and walk over after dinner.
Booking for a busy weekend
With several events on at once, tables go quickly at lunch and in the early evening. Booking ahead on OpenTable is the easiest way to secure a table. For a larger group, our private dining room can be booked through the functions form or by emailing mumian@taogroup.com.au.
