Cantonese street food with wontons, pork belly, and roast duck
"Walking down bustling Bree Street, you could easily miss this place completely. And that would be a huge shame, because Tomson stands out in a city where the options for Chinese food are relatively one dimensional. The co-owner did a stint in Shanghai, and now serves up South Cantonese dishes like wontons floating in rich chili broth and delicately steamed hake in a ginger and spring onion sauce at this City Centre spot. By the time you finish your meal, you’ll be so glad you didn’t walk right by." - mary holland

"Walk past Tomson, set along the city’s buzzy Bree Street, and you might miss it. The Cantonese street food restaurant is small but oh-so-mighty. Owned by Andrew Kai, who named the restaurant after his father (as in Tom and son), the menu features a collection of moreish meals like pork and shrimp wonton dumplings, crispy pork belly, and roast Cantonese duck served with pancakes. Make sure you stop by for a glass of bubbly at the neighboring Leo’s Wine Bar beforehand." - Mary Holland
