Pork & Chives Dumplings - Top Dumplings


Place: Top Dumplings
Location: Top Ryde food court
Price: $10.20 (usually $12 but Top Ryde staff discount)

Feeling very peckish after work I went to the shopping centers food court to try out the new dumpling place. I wasn’t sure what was the best on the menu so I asked the worker there who suggested the Pork & chives dumplings 10 piece. I got the steamed dumplings however you can get them either fried or floating in broth as well.  I founded that the price was perfect for what you’re getting, 'nearly $1 for a dumpling'.

It smelt incredible making me want to devour it straight away for lunch, taking my first bites the combination of the pork and chives was perfect, with the dumpling texture also good. The dumplings were quite large and were packed full of juice and meat. Initially I was wondering how this will fill me up but surprisingly as I was getting to my last 2 dumplings I was feeling quite full. The service was quick and only took less than 5 minutes for them to made. The food court was also fairly quiet adding to make whole experience for lunch enjoyable. With this I believe it deserves a 4/5 rating.

Bob's Boy - Burger Point

Source: Taken By Miko M Bob's Boy - Burger Point "8 hour Braised Pulled Pork in chilli maple and mesquite BBQ sauce, Burger Point house sauce, jalapeño, topped with kumara chips and tangy garlic dressing." As soon as I read this I knew I had to try it - and the burger didn't disappoint. My first bite, how would I describe it? Amazing - the the succulent pulled pork seemed to melt as I chewed, accompanied by a kumara chips (thin strands of fried sweet potato) created a unique contrast of texture which compelled me to take another bite. The pulled pork had really rich flavor, which I thought could possible overwhelm the burger - but instead I was proved wrong, the tangy garlic dressing and slaw helped cut through the rich pork and bought balance to the burger. I had realised that they used a toasted milk bun for the burger which aided in making a potentially heavy burger, to be light and filling. Leaving me with just enough room for a milkshake! ...

Source: Miko M Seaweed Garlic Butter Wagyu Beef Don From: Mikazuki Price: $16.50 Reading this off the menu, it was exactly how I had envisioned it but more. This Don ('Donburi' meaning rice bowl) is served with marinated wagyu beef garnished with sesame seeds and spring onions alongside pickled ginger, dry fried garlic, a poached egg and seaweed garlic butter - all atop a base of rice. The beef was quite tender and was well seasoned, it was perfect when accompanied by the rich buttery sauce. The poached egg and fried garlic both helped amplify the favour and texture of the dish when the yolk is broken and mixed in with the rest of, it made the dish more crispy and creamy at the same time. The inclusion of the pickled ginger was a must, since it plays an important role in cutting through the fattiness in the beef and sauce, with it's zingy flavour. Overall, it was a very satisfying experience, definitely worth the experience if you haven't ...

The Colonel, Chips, Fried Chicken Tenders From: Chicken & Sons - Chatswood Price: $19 (Burger & Chips) + $14 (Tenders) Total: $33 Who loves KFC? I definitely do, but always seem to get sick of it over time if I have it too much. Considering the amount of burger places increasing all over Sydney in the past couple of years, the one that has stood out to me the most is Chicken & Sons. They are conveniently located down the road from in Chatswood Victoria ave. The burger i had today, was one of their classic burgers The Colonel. It has a buttermilk deep fried chicken breast, lettuce, American cheese and ranch sauce. God it was a mighty big burger and was amazing to eat. The fact that they can get a fried chicken breast juicy and tender and have a coating just like KFC's is amazing. Also the burger comes with chips, so it isn't too badly priced. I felt really hungry for lunch so i orderd the buttermilk fried tenders. A bit of regret considering i couldn...
