BEST DUMPLINGS MELBOURNE

Why are dumplings so significant to David’s Melbourne? It’s a huge part of authentic Chinese culture.

Dumplings are an integral part of holidays, traditions, and even superstitions in China. They are more than just pieces of dough with a filling. They illustrate & express aspirations for a better life, and hopes for certain blessings. The crescent-shaped dumplings served during Lunar New Year symbolize the brightness of the moon and the promise of a bright and prosperous year ahead. Eating dumplings at the Spring Festival is said to bring goof fortune financially, as dumplings are shaped like ingots (元宝), the currency in olden times.
