There are plenty of workmanlike dumpling and rice restaurants along Clayton Road, but Modu aims a little higher with booth seating, a handsome bar and much attention given to presentation and crockery. The long pictorial menu plucks from all over China but leans to the north in specialties such as Jiangnan-style sticky rice cakes and pumpkin taro balls. There’s also a great stewed chicken dish with fried taro.
