Rialto Towers, GF (near King St corner)
525 Collins St, Melbourne 3000
Another night with the dinner club - this time we picked a new dumpling restaurant in town, Mr Huang Jin. Very little info on the internet about this place, but I was told it was related to Din Tai Fung in Sydney so I was itching to check it out.
The fitout was smart, with funky chairs and an airy atmosphere thanks to the full height glass walls. The clearly new, though very attentive, wait staff filled our water glasses and there were edamame beans to snack on while perusing the menus.
We ordered a few plates of dumplings to share, plus an interesting "main".
Prawn and pork wontons: Very nice dumplings with a great chilli sauce.
Chilli pork dumplings: Excellent dumpling casing, great soup, a little low on chilli heat.
Fried beef dumplings: A bit plain and dry
There was a bit of a gap between the dumplings and the mains, but finally it came out.
DIY roast pork buns: Delicious and very innovative serving method, though I was expecting more of a braised, caramelised style pork belly with the "sticky sauce" description.
Overall cost at ~$25pp was a bit more than the usual dumpling shop, but if you're over this side of town and feel like dumplings then it's worth a shot.
