Dumpling Darlings (Circular Road)

So… this is how your Burpple lunch set will look like! 2 bowls of noodles (featured here’s the braised pork noodles), 2 servings of dumplings and 2 drinks! As awesome as I remembered it to be - with generous food portions and creative concoctions of tea. We finally got to try the smoked duck dumpling this time and my, it was yumms! Also, we had to order the pierogi once more because it left an impression the previous round 😂 Ohhh, they also provide a complimentary side of Korean sprouts!!

the weekday lunch set comes w a bowl of noodles, dumplings and a drink. super worth it! plus free flow refillable bean sprouts

can never go wrong w dumpling darlings esp w the burpple discount. very good egg noodles at economic prices + unique dumpling flavours & super cute menu and illustrations. quite a cozy place too but a bit cramped

Finally got to try the smoked duck dumplings! Had missed this in the last visit and was glad to be able to try it this time! It’s a pretty uncommon flavour - usually it’s pork/chicken/veggie. This came as part of the lunch set, the duck dumplings were plump & generously filled! Duck meat was moist and flavourful, pretty sure it’s not unwanted duck parts or fats that went into the dumplings 😂 I love how the dumplings are crispy on the sides, with perfect thickness (or rather thinness) to the skin. Served with onions and some greens as garnish which I thought were necessary but definitely adds on to the aesthetic of the dish 😂

bought the fried pierogi & smoked duck dumplings, along with sichuan & braised pork noodles completed with the longan osmanthus pu-erh & passion fruit ginger soda.
all the items were excellent and lived up to the hype! especially enjoyed the dumplings and the sichuan noodles were surprisingly flavourful. the longan osmanthus pu-erh would be my drink of choice and would definitely satisfy those looking for a milder drink. would definitely recommend visiting!

so happy to see the impossible momo dumplings at the circular rd (it used to only be avail at amoy) outlet!

it tastes veryyy similar to Old Chang Kee curry puff😂 not that i’m complaining tho because i love both!
