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

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.
