I had a wonderful time visiting Monkey Can Fly last night. They’ve recently started opening certain nights as Chinese Mama’s Kitchen, offering a small but authentic selection of Chinese dishes alongside happy-hour drinks. The dumplings were delicious — warm and juicy — and we loved indulging in the fried chicken, spring rolls, bao buns, and fried rice. It’s great to have access to quality Chinese food on this side of Highett Road. The cozy atmosphere with the heater, pleasant music, and friendly staff made the evening even better. I definitely encourage you to give it a try — I’ll be coming back again soon!

We had a great value Friday night meal at Monkey Can Fly in Highett this evening. Authentic Chinese dumplings and yummy curry puffs to start. Followed with a tasty Malaysian beef curry and rice. We just caught the end of the Happy hour drink specials from 4-6pm. Will be back again soon.
