Starting from the top (clockwise) : veggie, smoked duck, original, pierogi and momo curry.

Unanimously, we agreed that the original was the best. Could be the pork and the soy sauce, just a taste we are familiar and comfortable with.
.
.
But I only liked the fried pierogi and the veggie mandu. The fried pierogi was interesting with truffle potato, smoked bacon, cheddar. There was a bit of everything that went well together.

Then for the veggie mandu, it was another familiar taste. With spinach, tofu, shiitake, gochujang inside. There was this umami 😋

Smoked duck and curry lacked lustre for me. Felt that the smoked duck was too chopped which lost the smoked duckness and the hoisin didn’t go with mustard. As for momo curry, there was just a lot of curry spices. End of story.

Dumplings darling has a very small seating area so I don’t recc you hoarding seats after you’re done. Food is served fast and you pretty much eat and leave.

The platter does not fall under burpple beyond 1 for 1. Only the noodles and single flavour dumplings.
Actually it doesn’t matter which is which because they all taste the same. 😂 The noodles is pretty good, chewy and springy and the sauce is also good. Flavorful and enough crunch from the shallots. But it is hard to comment on each flavour because it is barely distinguishable. Miso mushroom has a sprinkle of mushrooms that was marinated in miso while Sichuan has that slight mala that you have to imagine. Maybe for noodles they should just combine all and just make one flavour 😅 Beyond 1 for 1 made it a pretty good deal though!
