Do The Dumpling Hut’s new gravy dumplings sink or swim?
TBS reviews whether The Dumpling Hut’s new gravy-based dumplings live up to the hype

Whether you call it dumpling or momo, the essence remains the same.
Over the years, this beloved dish has gained immense popularity among Bangladeshi food enthusiasts. From humble street carts to upscale restaurants, dumplings are now a staple in satisfying local cravings.
A few months ago, the Cantonese eatery, The Dumpling Hut, created quite a stir by launching a new menu exclusively dedicated to gravy-based dumplings. Building on their existing lineup of classics like dumplings in chilli oil, naga dressing, lemon pepper, and scallion ginger sauce, the restaurant introduced five new bold and flavorful gravy-based options.
Curious to see if these additions live up to the hype, The Business Standard decided to try a few and weigh in on the verdict.
Green Curry Dumpling

The Green Curry Dumpling is a Thai take on dumplings by this Cantonese
restaurant. The dish comes in a bowl with five chicken dumplings and a bed of Thai green curry.
The curry or gravy, whatever we say, had a runny consistency similar to soup. Overall, it was a very comforting dish. The presence of lemon leaves added freshness to it. I would probably devour it on sick days.

Creamy Cheese Dumpling

Imagine the creamy richness of Alfredo sauce, but instead of pasta or spaghetti, it's paired with chicken dumplings (five pieces).
While the presentation was undeniably top-notch, the flavours left me a bit puzzled. The gravy leaned too sweet for my taste, and the presence of tangy black olives felt oddly out of place in a dish dominated by dairy. It's an interesting concept but one that struggles to find a balance.

Peanut Ginger Dumpling

This dish stood out as one of the more intriguing options on the menu. The peanut-ginger glaze, more akin to a sauce than a traditional gravy, offered a delightful balance of sweetness from the peanuts and a tangy kick from the ginger.
While the flavours were rich and well-rounded, it felt like shrimp-filled dumplings would have enhanced the dish even further, adding a complementary seafood element.
However, the restaurant's new menu exclusively features chicken dumplings, with no exceptions—a limitation that might leave some craving a bit more variety.
