South Melbourne Dim Sims

The humble dim-sim was invented in Melbourne’s Chinatown in the 1940’s. Since then it has become an Australian fast-food staple.

It’s a dumpling-style snack featuring minced meat (usually pork) wrapped in pastry, and then either steamed or deep-fried.

To try one of the best, visit South Melbourne Market Dim-Sims; they’ve been perfecting the recipe for over seventy years. While you’re at the market, browse the deli section for even more delicious eats.
