‘The perfect little vessel': Tricked-up dim sims are the hot pub snack this winter
'Every sporting club has a steamer full of dim sims,' he says, suggesting the dimmie roll was a virtual fait accompli. 'But the first place I heard of them was the Haven General Store'. That store is owned by Peter McFarlane. He's been serving dimmie rolls there for more than three decades, and the tradies of the Wimmera can't get enough. 'Just a normal hot dog roll, throw three dimmies in it, cream cheese, soy sauce, mustard, tomato sauce; whatever you want,' he says. 'People come to town, get in the line and say, 'What did that bloke just have?' No one's ever heard of them!' Where to find the best dressed-up dim sims this winter Dimmie Den A food truck parked at the northern exit of Southern Cross Station selling dim sims inspired by a range of cuisines. Southern Cross Station, 1st floor Spencer Street, Docklands Haven General Store A 34-year old shop on the outskirts of Horsham proudly assembling the dimmie roll with cream cheese, sweet chilli sauce and more. 4501 Henty Highway, Haven The Lincoln A snug, inner-city gastropub serving Wildpie wild boar dim sims with beetroot relish. 91 Cardigan Street, Carlton Bear's Wine Bar A hidden gem of North Melbourne serving a mean kangaroo and bacon dimmie. 502 Queensberry Street, North Melbourne Tanswell's Commercial Hotel Beechworth's cosiest pub, and the High Country home of Wildpie pies and dim sims. 50 Ford Street, Beechworth Punters Club Fitzroy A very good pub serving a very good dim sim – the South Melbourne dim sim – topped with Lao Gan Ma chilli crisp.
