This unassuming gem delivers handmade dumplings and fresh noodles that rival the best in Southeast Asia.
The Dumplings
Double Happy's handmade dumplings are little pockets of joy. Perfectly steamed with fillings ranging from juicy pork to fresh vegetarian options, each dumpling is crafted with care. Their signature dipping sauce adds a tangy kick that perfectly complements the delicate wrappers.
The pork dumplings are a standout—juicy, well-seasoned, and served piping hot. Vegetarian options are equally impressive, featuring fresh vegetables and aromatic seasonings.
Noodles & Mains
The homemade egg noodles are superbly cooked, with generous portions at reasonable prices. The spicy chicken noodles pack authentic Sichuan heat, while the red pepper steamed snapper showcases fresh seafood from the local fishermen.
The boiled beef bowl with garlic beans and fried rice is another customer favourite—hearty, flavourful, and perfect after a day exploring the fort's cobblestone streets.
Sweet Endings
Don't miss their unique desserts, including White Rabbit ice cream—a nostalgic nod to the classic Chinese candy—and sago in coconut milk for a refreshing finish.
The Atmosphere
The outdoor seating offers views of Galle Fort's famous clocktower, creating a unique dining experience where Chinese culinary tradition meets Dutch colonial heritage. The service is warm and attentive, making visitors feel welcome from start to finish.
