Dumpling Ninja'd !!!

So this was at their new place "The Galeries" in CBD, the place was trendy and fancy with a nice looking bar.....

It was ok nothing nothing great, the dumpling was lacking in flavours and the peanut spicy won ton was bitter for some reason ..... Will revisit and try their signature dumplings so until next time.... Keep eating!!!

The food is certainly amazing. The space is open and bright with beautiful furniture and interiors. The area is u shaped so f you are looking for an intimate area for a special occasion then this restaurant is great. Then do yum Cha high tea here so I'll most certainly be coming back.
