Shanghai Village Dumpling House, Melbourne

112-114 Little Bourke Street,CBD, Melbourne, VIC

Went to Chinatown in Melbs. Walked across this randomly, entered very simply red wall, seated, ordered 5 dishes. 4 dumpling plates and singapore noodles. Service was fast and ..asian, you know how it goes.

"Let's just order 4 dumplings," I insisted, and I was right. Noodles were eh.. tbh not that great and salty but friends wanted to order it, I just knew it was gonna be average.

Dumplings came out. 1 steamed with the soup inside was so nice! Steamed dumplings came out with 15 pieces, fried dumpling came out with 15 pieces... ohhhhh so good. AHH it was heaven. There were literally so much dumplings we had to take-away- who knew this? me. Anyway the bill came out and it was $37 all together. I was gobsmacked. I literally laughed and cried at the same time.

SO cheap SO many dumplings! OK, so this is my favourite place ever.

My Chinese friend reckons it's all packaged but guess what? who knows? I dont give a fuck. It's so bloody cheap and good. 10/10 would recommend and come here again, regularly if I was a local.

No photos- we were starving.

4.5/5.
