Heartling

Nestled in the heart of Docklands, Heartling offers an intimate dining experience like no other. This unique restaurant, which seats only ten guests, brings a new dimension to dumpling cuisine, focusing on heart-shaped, plant-based, and seafood dumplings. At Heartling, the dedication to sourcing local ingredients and promoting mindful eating is evident in every dish.

The standout experience at Heartling is undoubtedly the "Complete Collection" tasting menu. For $65 per person, diners are treated to an exquisite 10-course journey, each dish a testament to the creativity and culinary prowess of Suby, the mastermind behind Heartling. This tasting menu is akin to a chromatic spectrum, offering an elegant medley of dumplings that celebrate the beauty and diversity of heart-shaped cuisine.

The "Complete Collection" includes beautifully crafted dumplings such as the crowd favourite delicate sea scallop dumpling paired with a creamy cashew sauce. Each dumpling is a work of art, from the rich flavours of lobster with miso peanut butter sauce to the surprising sweetness of pumpkin enhanced by the miso peanut butter sauce. The combination of textures and tastes continues with dishes like salmon accompanied by roasted red pepper sauce and a touch of salmon caviar, and the giant green prawn served with a vibrant and nutty green tahini sauce.

Each course is a masterpiece, combining unique flavours and textures that delight the senses. The use of vibrant, multicoloured dumplings adds a visual appeal that enhances the dining experience, making each bite not only a taste sensation but also a feast for the eyes.

Heartling’s intimate setting, with its architecturally designed 10-seat dining room, encourages guests to slow down and savour each moment. The atmosphere is perfect for connecting with others and appreciating the artistry of the handcrafted dumplings.

Beyond the "Complete Collection," Heartling offers other tasting menus, including vegan and seafood options, as well as an à la carte menu. Regardless of the choice, every dish is crafted with the same attention to detail and passion for high-quality, locally sourced ingredients.

Heartling is more than just a dining destination; it is a journey into the world of refined and enriching heart-centered eating. The slow-made, plant-based, and seafood dumplings, house-made zero-sugar desserts, and exquisite drinks such as Kongfu Tea and cocktails create a holistic culinary experience. Each dish is imbued with the wisdom of tradition and a modern fusion of vibrancy, offering a path to wellness and mindful eating.

For those seeking a unique, intimate dining experience that combines the elegance of fine dining with the heartwarming essence of home-cooked meals, Heartling is a must-visit.
