OK....... im assuming lots of you know lots of good, clean, cheap places in Melbourne that you can get dumplings.

So share the wealth :)

Im looking for somewhere new to try.

From looking at some reviews on the web, I was considering Hutong Dumpling Bar (Market Lane). Anyone been there before??

In the city, Hutong is good.

Camy's is better

Bit further out, there's Auntie's

In Glenny there's JG's

They're all good. They're cheap, they look nasty, but the food is awesome. Don't go there if you're trying to impress people with decor or expect quality service though. Golden rule with dumpling houses is that the ruder the staff, the better the food.

Xiaoting Box - 371 Victoria St Abbotsford (North Richmond) VIC 3121 - (03) 9428 9588

For under $15 you will have a good feed of dumlings - steamed/fried - whatever.... and a can of soft drink :)

They also got other chinese food too.

You may have to book for Friday and Saturday nights it gets very busy - it's not essential to book - but highly recommended if you want a seat at these times.

All other nights and lunch times lots of available tables.

Food there is excellent - I go there for lunch there quite often. But Friday nights it's crowded.

I recommend the fried prawn and pork dumplings with some fried rice. nom nom nom

I think it was JG's in Glen Waverley where I had the best dumpling's of my life. It also happened to be on the night that a waitress got into a screaming match with a customer, which then became physical. The uglier things got, the better the dumpling's tasted :)

Taste Dumplings! Does a better name exist?

251 Burwood Highway, Burwood. I go there for lunch occasionally and the dumplings are really good and really cheap. A plate of 15 (which usually come out with 20+) costs around $8.50. I split a plate of dumplings and a plate of noodles with a workmate and we eat lunch with green tea for under $10 each. It's a bargain!

After going to places like Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong, i reckon the closest you get to good 'Xiao Long Bao' will be at Hutong in the city. It is just opposite Flowerdrum.

Be sure to ring them up and book a table before you go. Eating these xiao long bao is an 'art'. You have to pick them up carefully from those bamboo steamers, ensuring the gravy is still inside, dip it into some vinegar and devour it. :happy:

A good xiao long bao is one which has the best gravy and thin fine skin. Doubt any other places in Melbourne can be any better than Hutong in that aspect.

If you are talking about steamed or fried dumplings, the Shanghai Dumpling place at Tattersalls Lane in the City would be my pick. Another place worth mentioning will be 1+1 Dumpling noodles restaurant along Hopkins St in Footscray.

Btw, steamed dumplings and xiao long baos are 2 different things ;)

My 2 cents

If the ruder the staff the better the food dumpling king in Boxhill must have the best dumplings in the world

The truth!

Dumpling King in Box Hill are the absolute best dumplings I've had anywhere in Melbourne. And yes, their service can be very shit. On an upside the restaurant is very clean and all the food I've had there is fantastic. Favourite are the Pork Dumplings in Chilli Oil Soup.

Xiao Ting Box offers this too - xiao long bao - not sure how it compares to Hutong - I've never eaten at Hutong though - might have to try it. :)

Look at all these amateurs with their dumpling recommendations :P

This place is epic cheap and recommended by all my poor/cheap rmit city students who feed in the area lol

http://www.theage.com.au/news/restaurant-r...2637856379.html

I did recommend that place before you :D Who's the amateur here? :D

Anyway, this dumpling place might be cheap and good but try taking a look at the kitchen. I was there this afternoon sitting at the back on the ground floor, saw the waitress cleaning the table before handing back to the kitchen, picked up a dumpling from the kitchen table with her hands and drop it back on the plate :)

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
