Royal Albert Hotel

What can you say about a pub whose main claim to fame is a dumpling bar? Well, mostly 'yum' and occasionally 'pass me the soy sauce' around your chopsticks. It might sound like a gimmick or an attempt to spruce up an inner-city bar and make it into something it isn't, but it works. Steamed pork and chives, seafood skewers, Thai fishcakes and pork buns are just some of the high points. Best of all, most dishes sit around the $9 mark. Peking duck pancakes will set you back $12 for three and the spicy noodles are a treat.
