"If you’re not prone to noise-induced migraines, Good Fortune Club with their all-day dim sum menu is a certified good time. Rowdy after-work groups commandeer big round tables and compete to be the loudest in the room. Friendly servers zoom around scooping egg fried rice directly into diners' bowls. And if they so much as overhear someone mention a birthday, they’ll drop off some complimentary banana fritters with a single candle poking out and an X Factor-worthy singalong from any staff members in the vicinity. This heaving Cantonese spot is so chaotically fun that even the poshest Wimbledon Village local might accidentally let out a cackle. photo credit: Rianne Shlebak photo credit: Chris Rodgers Wilson photo credit: Chris Rodgers Wilson Pause Unmute So a quiet catch-up isn’t the objective here. It’s all about covering your table with as many bamboo steamers as possible (since their steamed section is the highlight). And with a big variation—from beef meatballs to springy truffle prawn dumplings—you could easily make an entire meal out of just dim sum. Just bring your friends (bonus points if they refuse to conform to using inside voices) to help you try more things. Food Rundown Scallop & Prawn Dumplings Although we love the meaty scallop on top, this one could use some help from the spicy dipping sauce, so get involved with that. photo credit: Chris Rodgers Wilson Prawn, Crab & Spinach Dumpling One of our favourite dumplings, it’s packed to the point of bursting, and the crab is sweet and delicate. photo credit: Chris Rodgers Wilson Truffle Prawn Dumplings These aren’t always on the menu, but when they are, you should definitely order them. The truffle adds a subtle earthy touch to liven up a traditional prawn dumpling. We could eat a couple of rounds of this alone. photo credit: Chris Rodgers Wilson Fresh Lobster Baked With Ginger & Spring Onion Noodles If you’re celebrating, get this showstopping main. It isn’t always available, so you’ll need 48 hours notice to secure one. Getting the lobster out from the shell can get a bit messy, but the soft meat rewards your troubles. The noodles are saucy, thin, and perfectly satisfying without being too heavy. photo credit: Chris Rodgers Wilson" - Rianne Shlebak
