When it’s time to drop after shopping in North Ryde’s Macquarie Centre, shoppers make their way to the brightly lit sign of Lok Lok Dumpling Bar next to the cinemas for tasty Asian cuisine. Patrons order an array of dishes to try before resting weary legs either perched at a timber bar lined with pint sized plants or at a table near Lok Lok’s kitchen to enjoy the smell of freshly steamed, house made pork dumplings. Lok Lok prides itself on making dumplings without any added preservatives, opting for fresh produce in both dumpling dishes and a range of other Asian-inspired meals. Enjoy everything from steamed pork buns, Hong Kong style beef congee and pineapple beef fried rice to Taiwanese braised pork with stewed egg and specialty chef’s dishes such as a zesty Malaysian chicken curry.
