A Brand New Dumpling Spot Has Just Opened In Bray

Bray has been knocking it out of the park as of late. The seaside town is booming with new, amazing foodie places and there’s also been an array of fab shops opening such as Finders Keepers. 

In the same Arcade as this vintage haven is a brand new dumpling eatery that I am absolutely DYING to try.

The menu features dishes such as  Joo-Yuk – Pan-fried pork dumplings, Spice Bag Kung Po Gai –  Kung Po chicken dumpling wrapped in spice bag seasoned dumpling pastry, Tofu-Gou – Teriyaki Shiitake Tofu dumpling (wrapped in spinach pastry) and

Banoffee dumplings.

Ehhhh, the dream?

To wash it all down nicely, they have prosecco and my named “drink of the summer”, Ramona.

All of their wrappers are made fresh and on-site and they aim to source their main ingredients from the local bray businesses to support back the local community.

What is the meaning behind “double 8?” 8 has always been regarded as the luckiest number in Chinese culture. The pronunciation of ‘Baat’ in Cantonese or ‘Ba’ in Mandarin sounds like the word for fortune. Double the 8, double the fortune! ???? #luckofthechirish #returnoffortunecookies
