Katana, the city's contemporary casual izakaya-inspired dining and bar, is set to host a special one-day collaboration with That Dumpling Girl, the boutique chef-led kitchen by Megha Polali, on 23rd July, 2026. The exclusive dining experience will showcase a thoughtfully curated menu centred around handmade dumplings and comforting Asian-inspired dishes.

A self-taught chef, Megha Polali began her culinary journey after moving to India, inspired by her love for the comforting flavours of restaurants like Din Tai Fung. What started as recreating her favourite dumplings at home has grown into That Dumpling Girl, a brand known for its handmade dumplings, wontons, ramen, fried chicken, rice bowls, artisanal cookies, and doughnuts.

Guests will begin the experience with warm steamed bao buns served alongside Whipped Ginger Scallion Butter and House Chilli Crisp. The menu also features handmade chilli oil prawn wontons, ginger chicken wontons, and steamed pork or chicken shiitake dumplings.

One of the highlights of the menu is Megha's signature cream cheese and water chestnut dumplings, paired with roasted tomato relish and mango green chilli salsa. Diners can also enjoy crispy Prawn Toast Sliders, Japanese-style Shimeji Mushroom served with wasabi mayo, along with comforting bowls of customisable ramen and dumplings in broth.

Designed as a warm and interactive dining experience, the collaboration brings together handcrafted flavours and dishes made for sharing, making it an ideal outing for dumpling lovers and anyone looking to explore comforting Asian cuisine.
