Some of our happiest moments happen around these tables. Laughter across the room, someone reaching for the last dumpling, tea constantly being topped up.

Crispy Peking Duck served with wraps, cucumber, leek and plum sauce.

Hands-on and always best shared around the table, with everyone building their wraps exactly how they like them.

Wow! What an incredible weekend, Prahran 🤍 A huge thank you to everyone who joined us to celebrate Mother’s Day. Seeing the restaurant filled with dumplings, tea, long lunches and families gathered around the table made it a very special one.

We hope all the mums and mother figures left feeling full, loved and properly spoiled.

Some specials on the table this Easter ✨

Steamed scallops, large king prawns with XO and crispy garlic, and of course David’s chocolate mousse… because it’s not Easter without chocolate.

And a few more reasons to gather this long weekend - we’re extending BYO from Good Friday to Sunday, so you can bring your favourite bottle.

On the table this Lunar New Year for our evening service.

✨King prawns, wok-tossed in aromatic XO and crispy garlic oil, wrapped in warmth and a little heat.

✨Whole steamed cod, dressed in sweet Shanghainese soy, spring onion and sesame.

Two seafood favourites that belong in the centre of the table, surrounded by family, laughter and raised glasses.

Available on Lunar New Year evening, 17th Feb. On Monday (LNY Eve), we’re also welcoming BYO, so you can bring that special bottle and celebrate with us.
