Dumpling Darlings (Amoy Street)

◾Dumpling Platter [$20]
◾Braised Pork Noodles [$7.5]

Dumpling Darlings has been on my list of places to try for years. For years! Even after the opening of their second outlet - which I had to walk past many times as it was close to my previous place of work - I still did not had the opportunity to give them a try for a myriad of reasons.

Well, it was long enough and I finally made plans to head down to the OG @dumpling.darlings outlet to give them a try and I was not disappointed.

It was a no-brainer that I went for their platter of 15, with a mix of 5 different dumpling flavours at only 20 bucks! What a bargain. The flavours included:

◾Original
◾Veggie
◾Momo
◾Fried Pierogi
◾Smoked

...and they were all really good dumplings I tell ya. Each with distinct and unique flavours, I was actually surprised everytime I popped the next flavour into my mouth. Standouts for me had to be the Fried Pierogi - a truffle potato and bacon stuffed dumpling. While the Momo had a blend of interesting curry spices and Labneh. Yum.

To top it off, I also got the Braised Pork Noodles that consisted of pork ragu and soy tare. This tasted a lil' weird to me though, not good not bad but I definitely wouldn't go for it next time. The XO Prawn Noodles caught my eye on the otherhand. Next time?

Dumpling Darlings is definitely worth a visit. Their dumplings are for sure darlings - with exquisite taste and actually affordable pricing. My one gripe is the 45 minute dining time which is pretty abysmal but you gotta do what you gotta do with such a cramp space I guess - so make those reservations y'all!

Used 30% and the bill became ~$26 for 2.

Ordered the lunch deal which comes with 1 bowl of noodles with egg, 1 serving of dumplings (4pc) and 1 drink.

Sichuan Pork Noodles and Braised Pork noodles: Sichuan was not v spicy and nothing spectacular honestly! My friend tried the braised pork and I think it was nothing much too. Neither v good nor bad. Portion was quite filling though

Tried the Fried Pierogi and Spicy Sichuan dumplings. The former was great and I would reorder that- it contains some potato cream like texture inside with a scent of truffle. Sounds weird but its honestly good. The latter was meh, wasnt even that spicy and was quite oily.

For the drinks we ordered the salted plum wolfberry pu-erh and the passionfruit ginger soda! Personally i preferred the passionfruit ginger soda, was super refreshing and the ginger oddly complimented the whole drink! Tried abit of the pu-erh but the salty flavour was quite distinct? My friend didnt mind it though.

Overall wouldnt travel all the way here to eat but maybe if im in the area! For $13+ it was a very filling lunch!

Just get the fried pierogi dumplings bc those were DAMN good 😵 but quite oily. Pierogi: 9️⃣/🔟

🍜DUMPLING DARLINGS🥟
We ordered: sichuan pork noodles, the other pork noodle that we forgot the name of, normal dumplings, fried pierogi, grapefruit drink and a sparkling passion fruit drink. tbh everything was quite nice but also mediocre at the same time. 😵 rly rly rly crowded. the better of the noodles was the Sichuan pork noodles. drinks.....weren’t that good. idk. BURPPLE 1 for 1 made this $16 set meal worth it but otherwise...:/ I wld only pay full price for the FRIED PIEROGI (3rd pic) SIDE NOTE: their appetiser is RLY nice. 7️⃣/🔟

Does it live up to the hype? Yes. The truffle inside the fried pierogi dumplings is not too much and further highlights, totally not overpowers the dumpling fillings. It really goes well with the miso mushroom noodle - a rather basic, just nice flavored main that provides a solid base for the dumpling.

The lunch set consisted of 1 bowl of noodles, 3 pieces of dumplings and a drink! I ordered the miso and pork noodles, the fried pierogi dumplings, the passionfruit and the wolf berry longan drink. Noodles were tasty and springy as the sauce coated all the noodles! Dumplings were crispy and cheesy as it was filled with bacon and cheese! Drinks were ok only. The free portion of bean sprouts was given before the meal was served and was a great appetizer.

Fried Pierogi, $8 (gang of five). Have been missing their dumplings so much! They were so good and unforgettable! Deep fried to golden perfection🧡🧡 Dumplings were stuffed with smoked bacon, truffle potato, caramelised onions! This is our favourite of all, and we couldn’t resist but order another serving to ease our craving! .

Waited more than 2 hours for a table; will I do it again ? Definitely 🥟🥢 •

Again, I love being spoiled with choices; assorted dumplings, both pan fried and boiled 😍 and they even serve bowls of homemade egg noodles which were to die for ! If only they have it in KL too. Next time I’m back at SG again I’ll def make reservation #highlyRAEted •

Ordered this again! I like how it’s crisp on the outside, with a creamy filling. It contains mashed potatoes (that r not the yucky instant kinds) & bacon. Best eaten while it’s hot. Got this as part of the burpple set, but I think it’s too pricey without 1-4-1.
