missy ks - surry hills

there are only a few things that will drag me off my couch once i've settled on a night in. and dumplings are one of them. in the adorned postcode of 2010, on fitzroy street sits a matchbox sized dumpling house named missy ks. this miniature sized venue also serves up a thai-asian fusion mix of rice, stir-fry and curry dishes. the plethora of dumpling fillings satisfy even those of us eating kosher tonight. 


we choose the special snowpea and crab and the classic chicken and shitake dumplings. the crab dumplings come in a more translucent dough which breaks apart as soon as i pick it up with my chopsticks, but the filling is tasty nonetheless. we both prefer the chicken and shitake dumplings, the minced filling and a little soup encased in sturdier dumpling wrappers. 

the special of stir fried hand-made shangai noodles is a fine example of how missy ks does simple asian food well. the noodles are thick, inter-tangled with a generous serving of vegies and several slices of beef. i really enjoy the dish, though my partner complains that it's a bit too oily for his liking. i think he may have mistaken the asian flavoured sauce for oil and i continue to slurp down the noodles happily. 

missy ks is 2010's share of the revered dumpling houses in chinatown and chatty. whilst it doesn't boast the size of the enormous 4fourteen venue across the road, it does boast delicious fare and is well worth the tight squeeze. 


missy ks is byo.
