@lifesstoriesweshareto: In the 1940s a Melbourne delivery boy skipped work to go fishing. The dim sims he was meant to deliver ended up in a chip shop fryer 🥟🔥 This is the story of the Wing Young family: a gold-rush store on the Murray, a Chinatown business called Wing Lee, a German-built dim sim machine, and a Greek mate called Joe with a fish and chip shop. Steamed or fried? Tell us below 👇 Note: the fried dim sim story is the Wing Young family's own account, told by William's daughter Elizabeth Chong. Dim sims were already on Melbourne menus by 1928. William made them bigger, sturdier and famous.
