Get ready to rumble! We’re calling all dumpling challengers to enter the Dumpling Ring with their wildest, most creative dumpling ideas in celebration of World Dumpling Day. It’s a fight for flavour as we search for the ultimate dumpling to feature on our menu—maybe even as a permanent heavyweight! There are 3 prizes available for our finalists, and you will decide who takes home the crown of 1st place.

HOW IT WILL GO DOWN

2. The winners are crowned - Our Dumpling Masters will pick 3 finalists, and then it’s up to you to vote on our website and crown the ultimate dumpling champion (Voting will be open from October 9-15).

3. Win a year’s worth of FREE dumplings - The finalists will receive a shared prize of up to $6000 worth of dumplings that you can share with your friends (or keep all to yourself, no judgment here!) (Winners announced on October 16 on our IG + website):

   • 1st place ($3000 Dining Voucher + a spot on our menu until the end of 2024)

   • 2nd place ($2000 Dining Voucher)
