Dim sims. Or should I say, “dim sims”. The mysterious Australian-Chinese food that, as far as I know, doesn’t exist in the Chinese cuisine in Asia.
From left to right: Dim Sim (uncooked); Dim Sim (steamed); Dim Sim (shallow-fried).
Say cheese! No, no cheese.
Shut up, Dim Sim (burnt shallow-fried).

Yer. I wouldn’t be going to any kind of Asian restaurant in Australia expecting any kind of actual Asian food, hey.
Except maybe in certain parts of Chinatown, but then they write those menus in [insert applicable language here] so us dumb whities don’t order it by mistake. ^^”

That’s probably just my picture; they’re quite decent. I don’t care much about food presentation.

They taste a bit different from what I expected of something inspired by actual dim sums, but they’re not too bad. It needs a sauce (e.g. soy sauce) or at least salt, though.

Now I’m hungry, the steamed one looks so good *-*
What’s the filling? Meat or vegetables?
I haven’t eaten real Dim Sums for a long time, definitely need some, now!

Are those inspired by dim sums? The shallow fried one actually looked quite nice.
I don’t think folks anywhere else can make dim sums as good as those in HK, but substitutes like this don’t hurt. ;D

As an Aussie, I must say that I loathe dim sims. They are a truly disgusting object that one can only very optimistically call ‘food’ and make me wonder if they’re not the excess left in the vets’ rubbish after a busy day of neutering….

I love dim sum! Steamed, or shallow-fried!
