Overview

Dimmies & Tinnies are on the move this month, having embarked on an East Coast adventure to spread the gospel about its new lineup of reimagined dim sims. The first stop is Redfern's Norfolk Hotel, which will play host to a one-day activation teeming with good food, cold beers and easygoing fun.

Held from 12pm on Saturday, July 19, the whole crew is invited to dine on this iconic Chinese-inspired treat. Priced at $3, the dimmies are available in two flavours: spicy pork with red chilli and cabbage, and chicken and sweetcorn, featuring a hit of kombu.

The tinnies form the other part of the equation, with $7 Reschs Pilsener cans pairing with the moreish staple to forge the ultimate afternoon snack combo. Perhaps it's time to load up the freezer, as these nostalgic bites are perfect for a quick cook-up, whether you prefer them fried or steamed.

Not familiar with Dimmies & Tinnies? Expect to see the brand more and more. Radio and TV favourite Andy Lee, NYC-based hospitality duo Eddy Buckingham and Chef Paul Donnelly, and celebrated ceramicist Sam Gordon are the brains behind the biz, having spent the last four years perfecting their dream torpedo-style dimmie.
