Tag away for an all you can eat evening dinner with the boys/girls for Friday 31st May! Draw closes 12pm mid day on the day.

I often hear people talk about dumplings like a cheat meal with the perspective that it isn’t a healthy meal, especially because it’s pan fried. Or it has ‘carbs’. I speak with a fair amount of confidence: carbs are essential in any diet and I don’t know any serious fitness enthusiast who doesn’t agree with that statement. The term healthy eating has been skewed too much by media these days. Most the dumplings we make are 1:1:1 protein, carb and fat. Most regular dishes sit between 4-500 calories. I’m confident if you asked any quality trainer or nutritionist about the macros of these morsels, they will tell you, it isn’t that bad! Truth be told, if you over eat anything, it isn’t good for you. Our dumplings are made with premium meats, hand made dough (brown, spinach and white) and yes they are pan fried (fried at the bottom and steamed at the top). Frying chicken breast requires oil too! No one has smashed these morsels back like my boys and I, and we are walking proof that it isn’t just a treat, it’s quality food!

If you see this lady out n about Shortland Street AND you are a fan of our food then pay her a compliment and let her know. This is mama Lan, the hardest worker I’ve ever known. There is no Sumthin Dumplin without her.

I’ve been thinking a lot about how to challenge my staff and I to further refine our craft. For the next week during our lunch rush, anyone that waits longer than 10 minutes for a meal from the moment they place an order till they receive it, gets a meal on the house. Same quality, same smiles with the same family here dishing it- we simply want you to have a longer lunch time!

What sells out first? The Monk, almost every day. This is because we only ever make around 4-500 daily, as these babies require a lot of love (and time). We basically give the tofu a makeover before it enters the spinach dough. Cheers @Cassie amber__ and BF for the beautiful pics, really appreciate it!
