Julies Dumplings

This place sits in a bit of a wasteland as far as walk in trade goes. On a main rd opposite a seriously large shopping precinct. However it must have it devotees who have gone to the trouble of hunting it down as its apparently been going for a number of years. I'm guessing the eat in facilities, consisting of a single stainless table stuck in front of the counter must be more for those needing a trial before they buy a couple of packets of frozen treasure. I persisted however and got my 15 dumplings (for less than $10) with both chilli and vinegar to accompany. And then despite the austere surroundings I understood how this place had survived for years. These were seriously good dumplings. Much better than some id paid far more for in Melbourne at one of the renowned dumpling houses. They were petite in size but packed with flavour and the casing was deliciously chewy without being doughy and heavy. (It's a fine line). No Shangai dumplings that I could see, just the more traditional type. On the wall and on the website are instructions to cook your own which are available to purchase frozen. I left with a couple of dozen little morsels and no doubt I'll be back. If you want to visit you'll have to time it right. Open 12 -2pm Tuesday to Saturday. But if your a dumpling fanatic, like I'm rapidly becoming, then you'll make the effort.

Amazing dumplings been past a few times and finally got to try them. Worth the trip and very keen prices. Good to takeaway some frozen ones too.
