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 :)

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
