Dawson Place has been going through a round of its own renovations and it does seem that the Koufu food court there has also been through its own set of renovations and with a refreshed line-up of stalls in its current iteration. An interesting addition to the food court would be Aunt Yee Dumplings — this is a concept that is run by the same folks behind Manna Fish; one very obvious clue would be the offering of Manna Fish’s menu at the stall despite the stall bearing only the name of Aunt Yee Dumplings on its shopfront. Aunt Yee Dumplings does feel like Manna Fish’s attempt to serve up similar offerings as what Yuen Kee Dumplings offer — the menu for Aunt Yee Dumplings is split into sections dedicated to Wonton, Noodle, Dumplings and Sides; there is apparently more flexibility at Aunt Yee Dumplings to opt for different flavours (i.e. soups or sauce mix) to go along not just with the wontons and dumplings, but also with some of the noodle dishes.
Interested to give their wontons a try given how we are pretty much fans of how Yuen Kee Dumplings serve up their wontons, we found ourselves going for the Family Feast Assorted Pork Wontons (12 pcs) — this would be a mix of their Pork Wonton, Corn & Pork Wonton and Shepherd’s Purse Vegetable and Pork Wonton in a single bowl; whilst we did note the inclusion of a Pork and Century Egg Wonton on its menu under the Wonton section, it does not seem that it was included as one of her flavours that came with the Family Feast Assorted Pork Wontons (12 pcs) that we had ordered. Being one whom always order the other wontons with the Viral Mixed Sauce with Chili Oil, we opted for the Popular Sesame Paste Dry Mix to come along with our order of the Family Feast Assorted Pork Wontons (12 pcs). Rather than beansprouts, the Family Feast Assorted Pork Wontons (12 pcs) is accompanied with leafy greens and nibs of corn; going for the Popular Sesame Paste Dry Mix itself, we did note that the sauce is different from Yuen Kee Dumpling’s Viral Mixed Sauce with Chili Oil and seems to feature light soya sauce, sesame sauce and chili instead — the use of light soya sauce over chili oil does provide a lighter note that gives a cleaner flavour to the sauce here instead but still sufficiently creamy and nutty from the use of sesame sauce. The various wontons at Aunt Yee Dumplings are sized smaller than Yuen Kee Dumpling’s wontons; the wonton skin still being pretty silky smooth and delicate, while the pork filling does not come with any undesirable porky stench — our favourite here being the Shepherd’s Purse Vegetable and Pork Wonton which felt a little more wholesome with inclusion of vegetables, though the Corn & Pork Wonton does come with an additional hint of sweetness from the nibs of corn.
