What a crack up! This monument has as much merit as Piss Weak World from the Late Show.
It would be funny as a joke, but the fun will be short lived. You all realise as the sun and weather ages this monument, in 15 years time I suspect people will say, who’s tacky idea was that!!

Your few weeks of wankfest are over! Please remove the billboard of the giant Dumpling and stop embarrassing yourselves.
You are the laughing stock, that is the Traders Association and the advert agency who are the laughing stock, not to forget Coles as it's basically their building so they/you must be dim sim ple people to keep this rubbish happening. You have not fooled anyone but the most simple,
and it has got very little media coverage.
If you want to make the shopping centre and shops become more well known do something that has intelligence and at least some classy feel.

This is THE Best idea ever! My wife and I are regulars at the dimmy delight
at the market and eat them at least 5 times a week plus lunches which don't
really count as that is more a take away option rather than a serious meal.
Our kids love them as well and I think it is a great way to get the health
benefits of dimmys out to the people of Melbourne.
Since we have started eating them almost exclusively our family of 4 has
lost a collective 259kgs and are still going!

Dear Team,
I'd hurry up getting this amazing architectural creation built asTorontonians have heard of the idea and are also currently working on a fat capsule to adorn a major building down-town. To appeal to the large chinese community here they are building a large container of soy sauce next to it and the dimma dunks in and out of it every hour. Melbourne needs more
significant artistic pieces like this if we are to compete with cities like Paris, Chicago, Geelong etc.

The designers should take some inspiration from Eureka Tower's "The Edge".
Instead of a static dim sim, there should be a giant steamer pot on top of the building with the giant dim sim rising up out of the steamer every few minutes.
As a ride you would wait inside the dim sim looking out to see water in the giant steamer heating up and eventually boiling. Then the dim sim is raised from the steamer and (once the steam clears) you are greeted with views of South Melbourne. Then soy sauce is pumped over the top of the dim sim, eventually covering the windows and obscuring the view before the dim sim is lowered back into the steamer and the ride ends.
Even better if the heating can happen using a few gas towers from Crown Casino. You may also need really really good public liability insurance.

I heard about your proposed project through RRR’s ‘The Architects’ show last night.
We are Brunswick-based architects and interested in ‘big’ objects. We support the idea of a Big Dim Sim.
We were involved in a submission for a Big Duck in the town of Donald, Victoria, in 2007. This project is currently on hold but we conducted research into the big object particularly in Australia. Please let us know if you would like to use this work.
We are urban design and urban visibility experts and could be of use to you on this project.

to make it accessible to everyone. Be fair - the dimsim should have equal access for everyone. Also, what about blind people? How will they be able to see the view from the top? Will there be a "braille-trail" for the visually impaired?

Hello Gentlemen,
May I congratulate you on a masterstroke of modern interpretive contemporary vernacular architecture!
A chiko role would lack character, a potato cake fail in its ability to speak me on a subliminal level, while a dodgy looking piece of deep fried flake would simply look out of place, stupid even.
No, all these other accouterments of a humble Fish 'n' Chip feast fail in so many ways, whereas the Dimmy stands squat, proud, unassuming yet dignified - eclipsing the Dock Lands London Eye fiasco and even Grollo's monster phallic tower of power. It makes me proud to be a Melbournian.
You have hit upon a symbol that represents something unspoken, lying deep in the psyche and bowels of most locals, like the pride we share for Anzac Diggers, a Fair Go, Football, Holdens, Kangaroos and hanging shit on other interstate tourist monuments.
I predict most visitors would laugh, cry, salivate uncontrollably and fart in five tones of cabbage infused pleasure at visiting this vision of heavenly splendour. Friday and Sat nights attracting high volumes of half pissed dimmy connoisseurs gagging to touch, smell or even dry root this monster.
Myself, Lord Mayor John So, Hamish and Andy, Rex Hunt, Con the Fruiterer and a consortium of Melbourne and regional chip shop proprietors (Led by Greasy Pete who has come out of retirement in excitement- a legendary chip fryer from Benalla) are seeking to contribute sizable sums to gain an equity share stake in this bold project. We expect it should return a tidy sum in annual revenues and capital gains compared to super funds and other alternatives.
Perhaps an extension incorporating a Soy Sauce water slide or 'Crown Style' water feature could be added.

Absolutely brilliant idea! Its about time we RECOGNISE and CELEBRATE the unique contribution the humble Dim Sim has made to Melbourne’s culture.
The Dim Sim is truly a metaphor for modern day life. Because when it all boils down, we are all essentially big lumps of meat encapsulated in a thin skin.
I think the Dim Sim should be bigger. I think that there should be more neon lighting. And I think there should be a font of soy sauce so all can enjoy.
My only objection- I think its on the wrong side of town!

I love the idea of lighting to change between steamed and fried. Because sometimes your in fried mood, sometimes a steamed mood. That’s called mood lighting.
I’d love to see this turn into a rivalry with various giant foods popping up all over the place. I’m sketching a giant chicken parma as we speak.

Strange and usual concept of portraying a food element as a building icon.
sounds interesting to be challenged upon, one thing that might come into most minds is what a wired and usual building, influencing people to come and visit the joint to explore in depth of the daring design and daring look that cant be forgotten in peoples mind. As roomers grow so does the popularity of the Dim Sim building icon.
One would image that the building would be made of exterior design of fibre-glass enabling it to look more like a Dim Sim rather than a brick design.
Conclusion, I hope it goes a heard its something that's new and interesting and has potential in the tourist industry who question the abnormal but intriguing building design.

off so that people can emerge through the cabbage-like interior and glimpse
the city views; or - in recognition of the Greek community's contribution to South Melbourne,"the Giant Souvlaki" with a special slice of beetroot poking out the top to give it that unique Australian feel.
