SUMTHIN WE SHOULDA DONE LONG TIME AGO

Just a reminder guys, 2 more days (21st June) till the draw for the bottomless Sumthin Dumplin dinner date! So tag away, even on this post! I’ll combine the two posts and do the draw!

As the days are getting chilly, come get a little heat on ya tongue from our chilli mayo combo! Another bottomless dinner date for the evening for giveaway, tag a mate/loved one for an evening of endless dumplings and yarns on the house! Draw closes 22nd June!

Closed on the 1st of June over the long weekend. Business as usual the follow Tuesday! Have a safe weekend everyone 🙂

We are closed on Monday over the long weekend coming up. But before we take our break, who’s free this Friday evening for an all you can eat night with the boys/girls (on the house ofc)? 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!

Apologies for the neglect to insta lately. Life has thrown a few curveballs but we are still going strong thanks to my lil bro and mum. The countdown is on for the new shop on Lorne. For this week, I’m gonna give away a corporate lunch box so tag away to your family, friends and colleagues for a chance to win a a box of every dumpling and to show some appreciation and 💗!

We are closed during this Easter Weekend between 19th-22nd and back to business as usual on the 23rd. Pictured above is the Monk, our vegan option with chilli and sesame. The sesame sauce is my brothers beast @richardfood !

I haven’t personally posted in a while as there are a few people who post on this page. But I’m definitely the cool one that still gives free food. We have a corporate giveaway share box worth $100 to give away this week! Tag your lunch buddies for a chance to win! Competition ends 28th March!

"Dumplings are probably in the top 5 of greatest food inventions of all time for me" 🥟 @kingofcheatmeals we couldn't agree more 🙈
