After the huge success of Chloe’s lemonade pop up last week (she made £55, which was pure profit to her because she didn’t pay for the cups, lemons, sugar, my labour) she will be selling chocolate milk and cookies with her friends Lia and Yum on Tuesday 28th July at 11am. Shes working her way to buying a real unicorn

It’s not without its faults but wow, what a place China is.

Still a lot of spitting on the floor, personal hygiene is sometimes questionable and the squat toilets are…interesting.

But there’s so much to see and do, and the food is incredible. We hit up Shanghai, Chongqing, Guangzhou and Hong Kong, hit us up for recommendations.

And each time I go back to Hong Kong I have a renewed energy to learn more about where I’m from. I think it’s an age thing, I look back and regret not taking in the traditions from a younger age. It’s too sad to think that if I don’t pass this knowledge down to my daughter it erodes away at our culture

Mums and dads, Spitalfields have got you sorted for the whole of Easter where kids under 10 can eat for free! Good food ...

Been a while since Chloe and I had a little Chinese language battle off.

My prep for our China trip is going swimmingly 🫠

2 reasons I decided to post this dumpling picture, firstly it’s a very delicious looking dumpling, nice and plump, crust looking golden delicious. We’ve really nailed what we do 👌

Secondly it was taken by my very first customer back in the school yard market days by London Fields who’s travelled from Australia to get his dumpling fix.

Now I’m guesstimating that in 10 years we’ve taken around 1.5 million orders, factoring repeat customers I reckon we’ve had around 150,000 unique customers. Now obviously im blessed for every individual who’s ordered with us, you’ve given us so much happiness, but that first order from , that’s what started the snowball because for the first 2 hours of trading I was standing in an empty metal frame stall with a little campfire stove, no customers and I was wondering what on earth I was doing with my Saturday. Eternally grateful that first order came in

Whether you know how to say it or not, we wish you all a fantastic year of the horse 🐎🐎🐎🐎

And a reminder that our new year celebrations will be this Saturday with lion dances and red packet giveaways!

Come celebrate lunar new year with us in the 21st February at Dumpling Shack and fen Noodles! Red packets for all our customers!

And no need to speak to be in Cantonese if I’m in front of house, I don’t need the added stress ☺️

Can’t tell if my canto is getting better or worse🫠
