If you’re keen to explore the cutting edge of dumpling innovation, look no further than the range available at House Of Yum Cha. They showcase how global flavours can be perfectly folded into a single bite.
Korean BBQ Gyoza
A spicy, savoury spin on the classic Japanese gyoza, Korean BBQ Gyoza is filled with marinated bulgogi beef, kimchi, and garlic chives. These dumplings pack a punch, balancing sweet, smoky, and umami flavours in a crisp pan-fried shell. It’s Korean comfort food, wrapped in a Japanese silhouette.
Cheeseburger Dumplings
A nod to Western fast food, these dumplings are filled with seasoned beef, melted cheddar, pickles, and a touch of mustard. Dipped in a tomato-based sauce, they echo the nostalgic taste of a cheeseburger but deliver it in bite-sized, juicy parcels. It’s a playful and unexpected twist that delights the senses.
Thai Green Curry Dumplings
These aromatic parcels combine creamy green curry paste, coconut milk, chicken, and Thai basil for a spicy-sweet fusion of Thai flavours. Served steamed or lightly grilled, they offer a fragrant and flavourful break from tradition.
Mac & Cheese Wontons
American soul food meets Chinese technique with these crispy pockets of creamy mac and cheese. The contrast between gooey filling and crunchy wrapper makes them an indulgent crowd-pleaser, especially when served with a smoky dipping sauce.
Tandoori Chicken Dumplings
Bringing Indian spices into the mix, these dumplings feature tender tandoori chicken, yoghurt, and coriander. They’re often paired with mint chutney for a fresh, zesty finish that perfectly complements the spice.
Miso Butter Mushroom Dumplings
A vegetarian favourite, these dumplings combine earthy mushrooms with rich miso butter for a luxurious mouthfeel. Inspired by Japanese and French flavours, they’re savoury, silky, and deeply satisfying.
Tex-Mex Dumplings
These bold dumplings are stuffed with spiced beef or beans, corn, capsicum, and cheese. Think nachos in dumpling form—especially when served with guacamole or a chipotle dipping sauce.
Truffle Wagyu Gyoza
For something truly indulgent, try dumplings filled with premium wagyu beef and a touch of truffle oil. Rich, buttery, and elegant, they elevate the dumpling to fine-dining status while maintaining the familiar appeal of pan-fried gyoza.

Fusion dumplings are more than just a passing trend—they’re a celebration of global flavours, creativity, and culinary curiosity. They break the mould of tradition while still paying homage to the comfort food we know and love.
