wednesday night, downtown sydney with a hankering for dumplings. with the ubiquitous chinese obsession to throw pork into every possible dish in sight it's often a tough call to fight it out for the few vegetarian[ish] options on the menu which is what happened on our late night circuit.all the passover fiends with a taste for chinese must've been out in force prior... even the alleged best dumpling house in the world had a choice of one. but it was delicious especially washed down with an ice cold asahi beer.
