"Each day, office workers make a beeline for this dumpling shop nestled in a CBD arcade between retail stores and a smattering of other restaurants. The Shandong-style fish dumplings from this mother-daughter team are nothing short of iconic. Cylindrical and filled with a puffy mackerel-and-herb mousse, they are pan-fried till crisp and juicy. The veggie dumplings — with zucchini, tofu, black fungus, and noodles — and the squid-ink dumplings with garlic oil are also worth braving the crowds." - Audrey Bourget, Sharlee Gibb
