The best Chinese dumplings under the sun for less than HK$100? Nom Nom put to the test
Nom Nom Dumplings in Prince Edward serves a mixture of traditional Chinese and fusion dumplings that it claims are the best. We put them to the test
Nom Nom Dumplings (which in Chinese is known simply as the Dumpling Shop) in Prince Edward claims to offer the best dumplings under the sun. The restaurant has two signs stating that claim. So we put them to the taste test.
The shop is only a five-minute walk from Prince Edward MTR station. When we arrived at 7.30pm, the place was full and we shared a table at the back with other customers.
Most of the staples on the menu are dumplings, with a few wonton soup and side dishes. The dumplings are handmade on site and cooked in two ways: boiled or fried. They come in two sizes. The medium bowl has seven dumplings and costs around HK$40, while the large bowl has 10 dumplings and starts at HK$50. The priciest is the matsutake mushroom and truffle dumplings, which are about HK$70 for the medium bowl and more than HK$100 for the large bowl.
We recommend the fried dumplings, the wrapper has a crunchy texture.
