Fei Jai Next Door

The Verdict

Dumplings are good. But dumplings served with cocktails are even better (let’s be real), which is why Fei Jai Next Door is putting Cantonese cuisine on the map. Located in Potts Point, this little spot is ideal for letting the good times (spring) roll. 

Fei Jai, which literally means fat boy in Cantonese, offers a well-thought out oriental menu. It’s modern take on traditional Chinese food is why this is a common spot for all foodie enthusiasts, so if you’re after something small, head straight for the Fatboy chicken steamed bun, served with chilli mayo, picked daikon and carrot. If you want to go all in, then ask for the Old school crispy sweet and sour red vinegar pork with lychee—and yes, it’s designed for sharing, but we won’t judge if you keep it all for yourself.  

Cocktails here are a must (highlight the word must). Try a Gooseberry Mule or Baiju Sour. They say enjoy things in moderation, but we don’t. Go all out and enjoy.
