Dimples Dumpling House is a must-visit for dim sum enthusiasts. Located on Palmer Road in Muizenberg, the restaurant is nestled in a charming and vibrant street that offers a variety of hidden gems. From cozy cafes and fashion boutiques to art studios and a quaint pizzeria, this eclectic mix is perfect for exploring.
Dim sum, an integral part of Cantonese cuisine, originates from Guangdong Province and Hong Kong. The translation of dim sum is “touch the heart” or “little heart’s delight.” It encompasses an array of bite-sized morsels that are meticulously arranged in bamboo baskets and delicate plates. At Dimples Dumpling House, the Cantonese art of dim sum flourishes.
The restaurant’s calming atmosphere, adorned with forest-green accents and bamboo steaming basket lanterns, invites you to indulge in the intricate craftsmanship of their signature handmade dumplings. Each dumpling boasts a unique blend of fresh ingredients meticulously wrapped within the delicate dough. From the harmonious pairing of prawns and chives to the rich flavor of pork and cabbage, every bite is a testament to Dimples Dumpling House’s unwavering attention to detail.
While the dim sum takes center stage, Dimples Dumpling House’s culinary repertoire expands beyond Guangdong. The restaurant embraces the revered gastronomy of Japan with their steaming bowls of ramen. With silky noodles, soul-warming broth, and carefully curated toppings, Dimples Dumpling House showcases the multifaceted beauty of Asian cuisine.
Complementing the dim sum and ramen offerings, an array of Asian-inspired appetizers graces the menu, featuring edamame beans, cucumber salad, steamed bao buns, gochu chicken wings, and stir-fried wok dishes.
In 2021, Dimples Dumpling House expanded its dim sum empire, launching a Kenilworth branch on Myrtle Road. Both locations uphold the essence of communal dining, an integral component of dim sum’s allure. As you savor each bite-sized creation, take a moment to immerse yourself in the convivial atmosphere that envelops the dining experience.
Friends and family gather around the table, sharing laughter, stories, and the joy of discovering a medley of dishes together. It is in these moments of togetherness that the true magic of dim sum is revealed: a celebration of culinary artistry, unity, and shared pleasure in embarking on a gastronomic journey.
Whether you choose to dine at their Muizenberg or Kenilworth location, Dimples Dumpling House welcomes you to discover the enchanting world of dim sum, where every bite touches the heart.
