Giant Dumpling Challenge
Think You Can Handle the Giant Dumpling?
This summer at Xi Home Dumplings Bay, Spitalfields, we’re serving up a challenge like no other – and it's not for the faint-hearted.
We’ve created the UK’s largest dumpling – a 1KG Northern Chinese dumpling stretching a whopping 30cm long, hand-wrapped in our signature Xi Home dough. It’s so big, we steam it first and pan-fry it to perfection – just to make sure every bite is juicy, crispy, and fully cooked.
The Giant Dumpling Challenge is ON.
Think you’ve got what it takes?
Here’s how it works:
Reserve your challenge slot via our SevenRooms page at least 1 day in advance
When reserving, select “Giant Dumpling Challenge” under the Special Occasion section
On your challenge day , Order the 1KG Giant Dumpling for just £14.99
Finish it in under 3 minutes – and you win BIG:
🎉 FREE Giant dumpling (we’ll refund your money)
🎉 £50 Xi Home voucher for your next feast
🎉 Exclusive Xi Home merch pack – T-shirt, tote bag, dumpling key ring, magnet, and our house-made chilli oil
🎉 A spot in the Hall of Dumpling Fame (we’ll snap a polaroid for the wall!)
🎉 Leaderboard glory – see where you stand among the champions
🥟 Default filling is pork – but we can also prepare a chicken or vegan version upon request.
Please leave a note on our SevenRooms page when making your reservation if you’d like one of these options.
Please note: The giant dumpling requires 30 minutes to prepare due to its size – we’ll get started once you arrive, so bring your appetite and a little patience!
Whether you’re a competitive eater or just in it for the fun, this is your chance to join the legend of Xi Home’s Giant Dumpling.
