I’ve been here a couple of times courtesy of my cousin. She’d thought I’ll love this place because 1. I love christmas lights (they are on every single day throughout the year), 2. I love dumplings and 3. IT’S CHEAP! Yes she was right! I LOVE IT ALL. Also forgot to mention that the interior is PINK (woooo!).

So we went in at 7pm on a Wednesday night (we tried to come here on Tuesdays on two different occasions and forget that they don’t open on Tuesdays….yep, happened twice) and were immediately seated. We always get the usual two dishes, xiao long bao and thai fried rice and then we go rogue for the third dish.

Two servings of xiao long bao (Shanghai pork mini bun) came out and my gosh it was pretty good! Sure it wasn’t the most amazing one but it was still pretty good and we always come back for this.

Xiao Long Bao (Shanghai Pork Mini Bun) – $6

Next our Thai fried rice. Now, since it was our usual dish and haven’t been here in months, it didn’t taste great. There wasn’t a tom yum flavour which we loved (the main reason we order this dish) and the portions have gotten smaller (NOOOOO!!!). Maybe it was an off night tonight…oh wells.

Thai Fried Rice – $8.50

Finally, our rogue dish, prawn and pork wonton dish (without soup) was served. Now I know this is stating the obvious but when I had it, it basically tasted like wontons (yep mum makes them for me too). It was pretty good and I’m glad we didn’t get the soup.

Prawn and Pork Wontons – $8.50

If you’re ever in the North in the Bundoora area and need a good place for dumplings that’s cheap, come to Maney’s. Service is quick, food is good and everyone is welcomed. DUMPLINGS!!!
