Belushi's & The Dugout

Defo a venue for anyone who is up for fun!

Great buzzy place especially if you like sports but overall it good for drinks and socialising. Good pub grub & plenty of places to stand or sit. We had an evening of beer pong!!!

Recently saw Dim Sim on TV but didn't know you could get them but when I found out that Belushi's had them I decided to give them ago.

A dim sim is a Chinese-inspired meat and vegetable dumpling-style snack food, popular in Australia and to a lesser extent in New Zealand. The name means dim sum in the creator's native dialect. It is made of minced meat (usually pork, lamb or chicken), cabbage, and seasoning, encased in a wrapper similar to that of a traditional shumai dumpling. They are typically rectangular, or sometimes a larger circular shape sold in fish and chip shops, service stations, corner shops, and some Chinese restaurants and takeaway outlets in Australia. When they came, they were big and round. Tried them without any sauces and I felt that they tasted exactly the same as Chiuchow meat roll 潮州炸粿肉 and Vietnamese Spring rolls but miles better and palatable because the meat is good quality and you won't find any weird chewy bits. They were a bit sweet by default so I didn't use the sweet chili sauce that was given. The dim sim tasted nice with BBQ sauce and mustard. Vinegar, Brown sauce or Worcester sauce would also go well with it but they were not on the table.
