About

A legendary Dandenong Ranges institution celebrated for massive, generous handmade parcels with deep savoury filling, fried extra crisp or steamed.

Heritage & History

Perched on Main Street in the Upwey foothills, Pearl Garden is a preserved sanctuary of authentic suburban Chinese craftsmanship. Resisting factory cartons, they roll their own oversized dimmies by hand daily.

Craft & Recipe Notes

Generous rustic wrapping enclosing a hearty, peppery minced pork and beef center. Frying creates an unmistakable audible crunch while steaming highlights the fragrant spring onion and garlic seasoning.
