⁣⁣ Chicken and Seafood Paella. Decent but not outstanding.

⁣⁣Sea bass with garlic and chili sauce, served with potatoes. This dish was rather disappointing. Taste is rather bland and everything on the plate were soft and mushy. Not my favourite.

⁣⁣Chorizo and quail egg on toast. The flavours of this dish is on heavier side due to the saltiness of the chorizo. Taste is not bad but one is enough because I feel that it might a bit jelak if you eat too much.
⁣⁣

⁣⁣Broccoli with Red Pepper Sauce. Ordered this because Broccoli is the love of my life so it’s a bit biased for me to rate this dish. To me, you can’t go wrong with broccoli. However, I am not a fan of the grainy texture of the red pepper sauce though
⁣⁣

Simply termed as Garlic Prawns and true to its name, the olive oil dip screams GARLIC and PRAWNS. Just soak the toasted bread in the sauce and send it in!

🔎Overall Verdict
A possible option if I want a change in flavour from the usual foods but not one that I will go often as the food overall were decent but nothing really outstanding that would attract me to come on a regular basis.

This drink is also on the lighter side. Mildly sweet, herbally taste with bits of osmanthus jelly within.

Light and refreshing drink! I liked that it was not too sweet and with a slight bitter aftertaste from the grapefruit! Could not really taste the strawberry though.

How can we miss the dumplings when we are at Dumpling Darlings? Together with each lunch set comes with a side of 4 pcs dumplings. There were 4 of us, 4 lunch sets, 4 pcs of dumplings so obviously we ordered 4 different flavours!

Here we have: (From the left)
✅The Original
As the name states, tasted just like a regular gyoza. Taste is decent but nothing much to wow about.
⁣⁣ ⁣⁣
✅ Smoked Duck
Each dumpling was filled with chunks of duck meat, which were indeed on the saltier side but the hint of sourness from the balsamic vinaigrette provided a perfect balance to the dish.
⁣⁣ ⁣⁣
✅ Momo Curry
Filled with minced pork collar, curry spice and charred cauliflower. The prominent curry spices came through really well but I liked more was the labneh that comes along with the dumplings. It gives a refreshing flavour to the dish, which cuts the richness of the curry. Not bad!

✅ Fried Pierogi
Deep fried dumpling filled with smoked bacon, truffle potato and cheddar. Served on a sriracha crema. This is one unique dumpling! Definitely never had a dumpling with such rich flavours before. The taste is fine but it can be quite jelak to finish a whole plate on your own. Luckily we only had one each.

Handmade noodles coated with Sichuan tare, topped with spicy minced meat, bacon sofrito, fried shallots and spring onions. I would say this is a toned down version of the usual Sichuan dishes that we are familiar with so if you are expecting a numbing, choking spiciness, this dish would appear pretty underwhelming. Taste is alright but I would prefer the other 2 noodles over this

Handmade noodles coated with a delicious, savoury soy tare, topped with shredded pork ragu, bacon sofrito, fried shallots and spring onions. The flavour of this dish is more on the savoury side as compared to the miso mushroom noodles. This was quite yummy too!

As part of the $16++ lunch set, which includes a bowl of egg noodles with a complimentary egg, a side of dumplings (4 pieces) and an iced drink, we have the miso mushroom noodles here.

Handmade noodles coated with miso tare, topped with braised mushrooms, shallots and spring onions. Flavour was pretty good but what I loved the most was the springy chewy texture of the noodles! The shallots and spring onions also added varying textures to the dish. Not bad!
