"The best contemporary Chinese food I have ever had"

It’s not without its faults but wow, what a place China is.

Still a lot of spitting on the floor, personal hygiene is sometimes questionable and the squat toilets are…interesting.

But there’s so much to see and do, and the food is incredible. We hit up Shanghai, Chongqing, Guangzhou and Hong Kong, hit us up for recommendations.

And each time I go back to Hong Kong I have a renewed energy to learn more about where I’m from. I think it’s an age thing, I look back and regret not taking in the traditions from a younger age. It’s too sad to think that if I don’t pass this knowledge down to my daughter it erodes away at our culture

Been a while since Chloe and I had a little Chinese language battle off.

My prep for our China trip is going swimmingly 🫠

2 reasons I decided to post this dumpling picture, firstly it’s a very delicious looking dumpling, nice and plump, crust looking golden delicious. We’ve really nailed what we do 👌

Secondly it was taken by my very first customer back in the school yard market days by London Fields who’s travelled from Australia to get his dumpling fix.

Now I’m guesstimating that in 10 years we’ve taken around 1.5 million orders, factoring repeat customers I reckon we’ve had around 150,000 unique customers. Now obviously im blessed for every individual who’s ordered with us, you’ve given us so much happiness, but that first order from , that’s what started the snowball because for the first 2 hours of trading I was standing in an empty metal frame stall with a little campfire stove, no customers and I was wondering what on earth I was doing with my Saturday. Eternally grateful that first order came in

Whether you know how to say it or not, we wish you all a fantastic year of the horse 🐎🐎🐎🐎

And a reminder that our new year celebrations will be this Saturday with lion dances and red packet giveaways!

Come celebrate lunar new year with us in the 21st February at Dumpling Shack and fen Noodles! Red packets for all our customers!

And no need to speak to be in Cantonese if I’m in front of house, I don’t need the added stress ☺️

Can’t tell if my canto is getting better or worse🫠

My level of Cantonese has exploded to the point of me now being able to tell stand up comedy levels of jokes. Yee absolutely loves them!!!! Watch out for tour dates coming soon

In my lifetime I’ve never witnessed how Hong Kong dealt with disasters but I couldn’t be more proud of Hong Kongers both local and overseas.

With over 40% of the residents in the apartments being 65 and over maybe it’s an expression of filial piety that’s ingrained in us or maybe Hong Kongers are more close knit than I thought, whatever the reason the the people of Hong Kong can hold there heads up high.

Our Saturday ladies holding it down on International Women’s Day spearheaded by my wife, and business partner Yee. Shes the reason why when she asks Dumpling Shack Group alumini to come cover a shift 100% of the time they’ll do it because they know she’s one of the best bosses around and she’s always got their back whether you still work for us or not.

Her work isn’t performative, it’s not done for the likes or for the views. You won’t see her setting up a tripod camera taking selfies of herself washing up. She’s the one telling her staff to leave early on a Friday, Saturday so she can clear the kitchen down and doing the admin in the wee hours. She’s a true boss

And to all the real boss ladies out there, we salute you
