OK....... im assuming lots of you know lots of good, clean, cheap places in Melbourne that you can get dumplings.

So share the wealth :)

Im looking for somewhere new to try.

From looking at some reviews on the web, I was considering Hutong Dumpling Bar (Market Lane). Anyone been there before??

In the city, Hutong is good.

Camy's is better

Bit further out, there's Auntie's

In Glenny there's JG's

They're all good. They're cheap, they look nasty, but the food is awesome. Don't go there if you're trying to impress people with decor or expect quality service though. Golden rule with dumpling houses is that the ruder the staff, the better the food.

Xiaoting Box - 371 Victoria St Abbotsford (North Richmond) VIC 3121 - (03) 9428 9588

For under $15 you will have a good feed of dumlings - steamed/fried - whatever.... and a can of soft drink :)

They also got other chinese food too.

You may have to book for Friday and Saturday nights it gets very busy - it's not essential to book - but highly recommended if you want a seat at these times.

All other nights and lunch times lots of available tables.

Food there is excellent - I go there for lunch there quite often. But Friday nights it's crowded.

I recommend the fried prawn and pork dumplings with some fried rice. nom nom nom

I think it was JG's in Glen Waverley where I had the best dumpling's of my life. It also happened to be on the night that a waitress got into a screaming match with a customer, which then became physical. The uglier things got, the better the dumpling's tasted :)

Taste Dumplings! Does a better name exist?

251 Burwood Highway, Burwood. I go there for lunch occasionally and the dumplings are really good and really cheap. A plate of 15 (which usually come out with 20+) costs around $8.50. I split a plate of dumplings and a plate of noodles with a workmate and we eat lunch with green tea for under $10 each. It's a bargain!

South China Sea Family (I think)

After going to places like Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong, i reckon the closest you get to good 'Xiao Long Bao' will be at Hutong in the city. It is just opposite Flowerdrum.

Be sure to ring them up and book a table before you go. Eating these xiao long bao is an 'art'. You have to pick them up carefully from those bamboo steamers, ensuring the gravy is still inside, dip it into some vinegar and devour it. :happy:

A good xiao long bao is one which has the best gravy and thin fine skin. Doubt any other places in Melbourne can be any better than Hutong in that aspect.

If you are talking about steamed or fried dumplings, the Shanghai Dumpling place at Tattersalls Lane in the City would be my pick. Another place worth mentioning will be 1+1 Dumpling noodles restaurant along Hopkins St in Footscray.

Btw, steamed dumplings and xiao long baos are 2 different things ;)

My 2 cents

If the ruder the staff the better the food dumpling king in Boxhill must have the best dumplings in the world

The truth!

Dumpling King in Box Hill are the absolute best dumplings I've had anywhere in Melbourne. And yes, their service can be very shit. On an upside the restaurant is very clean and all the food I've had there is fantastic. Favourite are the Pork Dumplings in Chilli Oil Soup.

Xiao Ting Box offers this too - xiao long bao - not sure how it compares to Hutong - I've never eaten at Hutong though - might have to try it. :)

Look at all these amateurs with their dumpling recommendations :P

This place is epic cheap and recommended by all my poor/cheap rmit city students who feed in the area lol

http://www.theage.com.au/news/restaurant-r...2637856379.html

I did recommend that place before you :D Who's the amateur here? :D

Anyway, this dumpling place might be cheap and good but try taking a look at the kitchen. I was there this afternoon sitting at the back on the ground floor, saw the waitress cleaning the table before handing back to the kitchen, picked up a dumpling from the kitchen table with her hands and drop it back on the plate :)

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
