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.

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

Persian Food - Persian Flame Restaurant

Image
Place: Persian Flame Restaurant Price: $18 The Persian Flame restaurant is the perfect place to bring large groups of family and friends to experience Persian food for the first time. This place has excellent and cosy vibes with cushioned lounge seating, amazing atmosphere with classic belly dancing. The dish I consumed was one of their classic slow cooked lamb shanks with special Persian rice, lightly fried carrot and potato. This dish is one of my favourites of Persian food as all aspects of the dish compliment each other when combined. The price is very reasonable for $18 per dish or can get $100 platters which will serve six very hungry people which acquaints to about $17 per person. This includes bread, condiments and plenty of main dishes, well worth the price. I would recommend this to any one who is interested to experience something different and have fun dancing with the belly dancers! By Richard. Photo source: Taken by Richard Naylor

Duck Noodle Soup - Sam Thai

Source: Taken By Richard N Duck Noodle Soup From: Sam Thai - Neutral Bay Price: $17.50 Sam Thai is one of those Thai restaurants that exceed my expectations every time I visit. The quality of their food is always high with fresh ingredients bought, prepared and cooked on the same day. I could definitely taste in this dish. Considering duck is one of my favourite meats, I can be a bit bias and will always enjoy it no matter what dish it is. What really makes this dish so delicious is the soup part which is great for cold windy days like these to warm my chest up. The flavours in the soup is very hard to describe as to what it exactly tastes like but it is god damn good. The noodles are nice thin flat rice noodles which are also my favourite style of noodle as they are easy to eat and hold a lot of the soup flavour on it. Service of this restaurant is always great, quick and friendly. I would highly recommend this place to anyone that wants some really high quality food a
