Dumpling Degustation
Treat yourself to a night of fancy dumpling gorging.
Overview
If you agree that one of the best ways to deal with chilly temperatures and rainy days is to just eat until you feel better, Oriental Teahouse has you covered. Following a sold out run during this year's Melbourne Food and Wine Festival, the South Yarra location is bringing back their Dumpling Degustation for one night only on Thursday, July 27 from 6:30pm.
The feast that awaits you on Chapel Street includes 25 different types of dumplings, meaning the lucky partakers get to try every single dumpling on the menu. It won't just be your average fried pork and chive, either (though their fancy version of the classic is included) — think lobster and wild mushroom, green curry lamb, Angus beer and pulled pork varieties, along with an AFL-themed football dumpling of pork, shrimp, dried shiitake and bamboo, topped with a crispy bacon and sesame. We're not sure what the combination has to do with footy, but it sounds delicious and that's all that matters. Five brand new flavours will also make the menu.
The degustation isn't cheap — especially compared with the $22.50 all-you-can-eat dumpling dinner happening at POW Kitchen on the same night. Orienal Teahouse's version starts at $80, or $120 for a matched beverage pairing which includes craft beer, cocktail, wine, sake and premium tea. But no one says you can't treat yourself to a night of fancy dumpling gorging and, for lobster dumplings, the price may be worth it.
