Probably the preservative or spice.
Tried these a while ago, the Siu Mai and Pork and Chive Dumplings are much nicer. The Pork Dim Sim has way too much cabbage in it and was really watery. They might taste better if you fried them, I've only tried steaming and microwaving them.
I agree. The Pork Dim Sim was too much cabbage - not enough meat and the flavour was washed out.
The pork buns are nice and microwave okay. The Siu Mai and Pork and chive dumpling are okay microwave, but are a bit fiddly to turn and cook properly without drying out. All of them taste best steamed.I used to like going out to Yum Cha (in Sydney) a lot and we would easily spend $50-$60 a head (without alcohol). These frozen ones (and the Mr Chan/Chen) are a quick and tasty alternative. They are better than poor quality / very greasy Yum Cha at second tier restaurants. They seem to appear on half price sales quite often, so we end up filling up our freezer. $5-$10 of frozen stuff can easily make a filling meal.
I still miss Yum Cha in Hong Kong.
It's pork, so can't be imported IIRC. It's the seafood products you need to be wary of. They can be imported and, when it comes to frozen dim sum, often is.
Unfortunately pork is imported into Australia:

https://www.sbs.com.au/food/article/2017/06/02/pork-belly-yo…For example, this bacon is only made of approx. 21% Australian ingredients:

It's likely the 21% is Australian water judging from the ingredient list provided.I didn't realize none of the bacon or small goods sold in colesworth is Australian meat :( Only water and maybe smoke from Australia…
Not sure you can 10% Australian product when 95% of the ham is pork. Unless they mush up 90% overseas pork and put 5% Australian pork, press it back together and have 10% Australian water.
Need to read the labels on smallgoods properly - probably best for us anyway and stop eating it altogether.
We tend to have buy the roast chicken and make sandwiches out of that these days
This is disgusting, don't buy this.
The meat is loose, lacks flavour, is really watery and has too much cabbage. Not even worth the money at half the RRP in my opinion.

Sounds like what happens after you eat several of them.. :O
halal?
Fart nuggets
I can just imagine the quality ingredients in this. Top shelf….laxative
99% Aussie produce too, always a good sign!…I wonder what that other 1% is? I assume it is to avoid litigation if it turns out there was a slight chance of foreign content being included (processing machines etc. may have remnants of other dishes)
