Sumthin' for all you dumpling lovers out there: Sumthin' Dumplin is offering tradiitonal dumplings with a twist to to the masses.
After opening up in July 2018, Sumthin Dumplin has become a popular spot for those wanting their dumpling fix in town. Located near Chancery Square , you will often find a queue outside at lunchtime as people wait to grab these simple yet delicious bites for lunch. You can stand on the street and watch the dumplings being made in the small kitchen through the window too!
Specialising in Shanghainese dumplings with a contemporary twist, the fillings are a mix of traditional and fusion. There are the traditional fillings like the classic combination of pork and cabbage (aptly named 'The OG') or prawn and chive ('3 Spice') available, as well as more unheard of dumpling fillings such as the Beef & Cheese - their take on the favourite Kiwi mince and cheese pie. Other concoctions include their vegan/vegetarian option, 'The Monk' which comprises of tofu, mushroom and bok choy, and the ‘Great White’—shredded chicken breast with white and shitake mushrooms all encased in a wholemeal wrap. All topped with sauces such as sriracha and chili!
For dumplings, they are rather big - I would probably consider it to be more of a mini bun with its crispy pan fried base *which i absolutely love!) and thicker skin. Different to your typical dumpling, I do think their dumplings are more catered towards Kiwi taste but it's still very tasty and have definitely grown on me!
