Which Dumplings Should You Try First?
Pork Pan-fried Dumplings: for a golden, crisp bite
With a pork and chive filling and a golden pan-fried surface, Pork Pan-fried Dumplings are a good starting point if you enjoy contrasting textures. Order them on their own, or pair them with rice or noodles when you want more variety.
Boiled Dumplings: for a softer texture
If you prefer a softer dumpling wrapper, consider boiled dumplings. Compare the available fillings on the menu and confirm your choice with the store.
Wonton in Chilli Oil: for something with chilli
Wonton in Chilli Oil brings together chicken and prawn wontons with mild chilli oil. Chilli preferences vary, so ask the team if you are unsure whether the dish will suit you.
Choosing Noodles or Fried Rice for Lunch
Prefer a meal in one bowl? Wonton Noodle Soup is an option for those who enjoy noodles and broth. If you would rather have rice, Special Fried Rice combines rice with shrimp and BBQ pork.
You can also explore Cook to Order with Rice dishes such as Honey Chicken with Rice or Black Bean Beef with Rice. Start by deciding whether you feel like soup, noodles or rice, then consider whether you are ordering for yourself or sharing.
What Goes Well with Dumplings?
Choose a second dish for a different texture or style of meal. Here are a few combinations to consider:
- Pan-fried dumplings and Wonton Noodle Soup: combine a golden dumpling surface with a noodle-and-broth dish.
- Fried rice and a Spring Roll: pair a rice dish with a crisp Hot Bar snack.
- Different dumpling styles: compare pan-fried and boiled options when ordering together.
These are pairing ideas, not set packages or serving-size recommendations. Choose quantities to suit your group and appetite.
