Oh, hey Ameripoors

want a Dim Sim?

Dim Sims

A dim sim is a Chinese-inspired meat dumpling-style snack food popular in Australia. It normally consists of a large ball of pork or other meat, cabbage and flavourings, encased in a wrapper similar to that of a more traditional dumpling. This can be either deep-fried or steamed.


The Dim Sim was developed in Melbourne by Chinese chef William Wing Young for his restaurant "Wing Lee". It is not to be confused with the authentic Chinese meal called dim sum, although the Australian version's name, ingredients and snack-sized portions are undoubtedly inspired by its Oriental heritage.

They are available steamed (easily done at home) or Deep fried, usually from Fish and Chipperies
