FOOD Its very funny to watch people come to the display counter of this food hall eatery and walk away, sickened by the truly disgusting display cabinet of drying and curling dumplings and dried out soups. The Chinese, unlike the Japanese do not get plastic replicas of their food. Since there is little English, despite the overhead picture menu, they must have found this the easier way. In fact, the whole place looks a bit ramshackle, but there in a corner with a mound of filling is a cook making hand made dumplings just the same as in China. Always busy (mainly with Chinese) they seem not to have noticed how many people walk up to their display and rush away.
Unfortunately the faint-hearted miss out on some of Adelaide’s best
dumplings made on the spot and not imported frozen from only God knows
where. From the steam tray you can have Crystal dumplings with tofu, prawn and green vegetable, Slippery rice noodle wraps, Dim Sim and all manner of great dumplings. The crystal dumplings are terrific, but most of all it is the Tripe in chilli and black bean that
keeps us coming back. A serve of crystal dumplings and tripe is $6.5
almost what it would cost you in Shanghai at a local café.
