Comments on: Chinese Dumpling Noodle House at Kingsford http://www.notquitenigella.com/2008/06/07/chinese-dumpling-noodle-house-at-kingsford/ The slightly eccentric eating, cooking and travel adventures of a Sydney girl who loves cakes, cooking, Nigella Lawson and eating. She eats, breathes and dreams food and indeed will never get cable TV as she'd quit working and watch the Food Channel all day long.

But duck and bean sprouts are an unusual combination, I don't think I've tried it yet. We actually walked past Arthur's the other night after Bite Me Burger and contemplated going in. Thanks for the rec! Thankyou, only a few more days to go now! :) Hi lynn-Wow, it sounds huge. But duck and bean sprouts are an unusual combination, I don’t think I’ve tried it yet.

What is in the spring pancake? Yup, am trying to eat at as many places on Anzac parade as possible while we're in the area. If I had to choose any compensation for doing sport, it would most certainly be a culinary compensation such as this :lol: Yep I do like shopping at PoK and Pondok Buyung (I did a story on this too a while back ;) ) Hi lynn-Thanks for the recommendation.

Once it filled, it might have been slower. Cool, thanks for letting me know about the steamed versus boiled. To me it's quality over quantity. However in this case, my husband chose and he chose quantity! :lol: Hi Bev-I think we got it because we went a bit earlier than the crowd. Once it filled, it might have been slower.

If you ever go back I recommend you substitute the boiled dumplings for the steamed ones which taste infinitely better (I don't eat the boiled ones as they are tasteless, as though the flavour drained away with the water). I think you only get 14 with the steamed though (still cheap!)

I'd like these better if they had ginger more consistently throughout them. Of the pan fried ones, both are very good, one isn't better than the other :) Hi Adrian-Of the boiled ones, I’d have to say I prefer the Shanghai Night ones (the pork and mushroom are my favourites).

Which one do you reckon is better? Hi,

Are the dumplings taste the same with the ones from Shanghai Night? Which one do you reckon is better?
