Hidden away in Midcity Arcade, once you do finally manage to find the place, it's set up like your usual suspect dumpling joint - sticky plastic tables to share, crammed to capacity and the token soy, chilli and vinegar condiments scattered across the tables.
The egg, corn and chive pancake was a nice change from the usual spring onion pancake. If it had only been cooked in the pan for a touch longer (it was definitely on the soggy side) it would have been an exceptional dish.
But on to the main event - the dumplings. Whilst beautiful and cooked to perfection, the Prawn, Black Fungus and Chive pan fried dumplings (with a touch of pork for texture) were far too salty for my liking. That being said, I'm not the biggest salt fan and these little beauties might be ideal for a salt lover.
Whilst the food was okay, I couldn't help be mildly dissapointed after all of the hype. That being said, there was definitely potential to the dishes and I'd be willing to give it a second shot on another night.
Food: 3/5
Venue: 2.5/5
Service: 3/5
Total: 8.5/15
Verdict: like - get around to trying it at some point
Midcity Arcade, Shop 7, 200 Bourke Street, CBD
