ShanDong Mama has taken all before it in terms of Melbourne's best dumplings and is a value-for-money champion. Having been to ShanDong Mama since their humble opening we've been tracking them ever since - and the quality continues to resonate. The story of Mama Wang coming from the ShanDong Province of China to bring her expertise to Melbourne is compelling. With family alongside her, Mama is unstoppable. She has strict quality standards and picks the ingredients from the markets herself for her dishes. This restaurant serves up dumplings not found anywhere else in Melbourne. The famous Fish Mackerel Dumpling made of Fish Mackerel fillet mixed by hand with coriander, ginger and chives into a mousse-textured filling, wrapped in homemade very thin dumpling skin are considered by The World Loves Melbourne as the best in this city. It is a traditional recipe from coastal city of Yan Tai in Shandong province.
