Down Chinatown, right at the open car park and then right to the end of the alley.
David and Camy’s (D&C) is a place that for a few Melbourne (and Sydney) ZGeekers really needs no introduction.
For the uninitiated, D&C is the offshoot of Camy Noodle, the original ‘dodgy dumpling’ place.
What D&C (and Camy Noodle) lack in the presentation stakes, they more than make up in the actual food. Sober or drunk, it’s a great place to take a group of friends.
Being primarily a dumpling house, there’s a huge range of dumplings to choose from. Fried and steamed pork dumplings are a must for any sitting. For the vegetarians there’s chive, spinach or seafood dumplings.
No dumplings feast is complete without plates of Vegetarian Fried Sliced Rice Cake (impossible to say when drunk), and Chinese Broccoli with Oyster Sauce. If you really want to show off, order the Wontons in Soup, DanDan Noodles (firey hot pork mince with thick noodles) and Mapo Tofu. For the unadventurous there’s always the Thai Fried Rice. A huge mound of white rice cooked with the usual assortment of vegetables and meat and then topped with an egg omlette.
Plates of food range from $5 to about $8. If you go with a large group you'll get a great feed and, nine times out of ten, change out of a $10 note.
There are a many more types of dumplings available than those I’ve mentioned above, however I’ve found that once your friends have their favourites, it’s hard to get them trying other stuff. I’d recommended rotating the menu on subsequent visits to D&C. It’s the only way you’ll get to sample the amazing range of food they have.
