Sir Dumpling of House Noodle

29/03/2026

Throwback to Tokyo Tonkatsu at Gyukatsu Motomura - pretentious dorks seem split on it, but as a pretentious dork I thought it was goddamn amazing. The sauces, the miso, the beef and a little hotplate!

So so good

Also, normalise having a pint of Highball at any opportunity. This is the way.

Hello!

A quick check in with you, my closest friends, to make sure you are eating dumplings - but if not, that you have a elegant storage of dumplings. Like I do. That can be raided after a day of work that quite frankly, was unfair.

I'll be honest with you, no idea what these were. Pork and wine dumplings from Xmas? Chicken and chive from yesteryear? Who cares. The gallon of spicy j**m in the bowl makes it all even out in the end.

Now, you know how to make dumplings, so, let this serve as a reminder.

Hello!

Lamb kidney, bacon, blue cheese and chive.

Have a team lunch today too. Oh dear.

Hello.

Here is day two of oxtail and beef shin stew, a lot of Italians don't know that you must always put star anise in your braises. Don't worry though, once they figure out how to get trains running on time they'll be all over it.

Hello.

Here is some Coda alla Vaccinara, the perfect light snack you want on warm Sunday. Super tender tails, shins, and bits and bobs in a thicc tomato and celery sauce.

The Italians would likely serve it on polenta. Because they are c***s. Here in the righteous world, we rock a garlic mash.

This is the way.

I know, I know - yet another noodle, yet another bowl.

I get it, I see you - but what you must understand is that this broth is homemade (from my ancient bag of animal bones I was collecting), and these Lamb and Cumin Xinjiang dumplings, also belonging to an equally flavoursome spirit.

The spice does make you sweat, but I collect my bodies moisture in Stillsuit, nothing is wasted, and as I continue to hurtle toward Instagram fame, this is what's guides me.

And some peanuts. And some chilli. Yes.

Hello.

Here is some braised pork shoulder ramen, with braised egg, braised bean curd, and yes, braised mushrooms in a shrimp and pork broth. Unsurprisingly it's nowhere near that good food s**t I had in Japan, but - I'm not in Japan. I am in Wellington, and in Wellington we take what we can get.

Hello.

Here are some Hong Kong style Swiss Wings. Poached then braised in soy, oyster sauce, a real s**tload of sugar, cinnamon, star anise and black cardamom. Kewpie and Hot Sauce for the finishing dunks.

Speaking of dunks, these wings are meant to slide into my enormous gullet like Arsenal are sliding wins into the Premier League. It's couch and highlights time.
