4. Ma La Dumplings

Who doesn’t love dumplings?! Find me one person.. I’ll wait. Ma La Dumplings has been on the Margaret River food truck scene for just over 5 years now. The concept was born when husband and wife team Teesh and Matt returned from a decade working in Beijing and noticed a niche to be filled with fresh, quality Chinese dumplings.

Their name goes hand in hand with their flavorful sauces. Ma La Dumplings originates from a flavor profile of spicy Sichuan peppercorns and chili. The menu packs a punch, full of zest and made with fresh local ingredients.

You’ll usually find Ma La Dumplings at the Margaret River Farmers Market every Saturday morning. You don’t know breakfast until you’ve enjoyed breakfast dumplings coated in zingy Bang Bang Sauce.

Even better, you can buy frozen dumplings and enjoy them at home.. you can find them here.

5. Bobcha Korean Food Truck

Bobcha translates to a food truck in Korean and it is the Korean food truck Mecca of your dreams. From humble beginnings making the best Kimchi in town and selling it at the markets, Bobcha Korean Food Truck grew into the epic foodie experience it is today.

Offering a fusion of authentic Korean flavors and dishes with western favorites, Bobcha is fun soul food that’ll have you chasing them down for more. Some of our favorites are the Slow-Cooked Pork Belly Burger ‘Sam G-Yup Sal’ the Korean Fried Chicken and Rice, ‘Yang Nylon Chicken’, and the fusion of Korean and Taiwanese Braised Pork ‘Lu Rou Fan.’
