ALDI is opening a pop-up dumpling truck serving a full takeaway feed for just $1.44.
The truck will operate from 5pm-7pm (or while stocks last) on August 12 in the ALDI Bankstown Central car park.
Each order contains six delicious Urban Eats dumplings, including fan favourites Prawn Gyoza and Chicken Dumplings.
ALDI has imposed a maximum of 4 serves per person, and no cash is accepted.

ALDI is opening a pop-up Dumpling Truck serving a full takeaway gyoza feed for just $1.44
Andrew King, Frozen Food Buying Director said: ‘At a time when consumers are feeling the pinch, it’s rewarding to provide an option for people to still enjoy their Friday night rituals when they shop with us.’
‘The ALDI Dumpling Truck demonstrates how good food doesn’t have to hurt your pocket. You can dish up quick, delicious and affordable Friday dinners at home for less than $1.50 a serve!’ he added.
The pop-truck truck follows on the heels of ALDI’s research into Australia’s takeaway food habits, which revealed that almost half (46%) of Aussies are paying between $15 and $20 on a takeaway food order per person.

The motive behind the initiative is to show Australians that a takeaway, or ALDI’s ‘fakeaway’ dinner can be the ultimate trifecta – fast, affordable and talk-about-it-all-week sort of delicious
Shoppers can also recreate the Dumpling Truck as well as a range of other convenient ‘fakeaway’ meals week-in-week-out using products from the Urban Eats frozen food range.
If you cannot make the pop-up truck, the full range of dumplings are available in the freezer section across the country.
In addition, all proceeds from the ALDI Dumpling Truck will be donated to ALDI’s national charity partner – Camp Quality, a charity that brings positivity, fun and laughter back into the lives of kids facing cancer.
But this is not the first time ALDI has wowed thousands with its pop-up magic.
Aldi Australia has previously opened its first pop-up bar in the heart of the Sydney CBD – but only for two days.
On July 15 and 16, the new experience called ‘The Trophy Room’ showcased some of the award-winning wines sold at by the supermarket giant along with cheeses to pair.
A night out at the bar cost just $4.41 and includes a gin cocktail, but you can also order a ‘tasting experience’ where Aldi wines are paired with the supermarket’s cheeses.

While the tasting experience itself is complimentary, guests will need to pay extra for glasses of wine and cheese.
A glass of Pinot Grigio will cost just 83 cents, with the most expensive glass on the menu, a Pinot Noir from Otago in New Zealand, just $2.49 a glass.
Aldi is pairing the wines with some of its popular cheeses, including a triple cream brie for 56 cents a serve, and a smooth blue cheese for 62 cents.
The stylish bar launches at a time when Australians are struggling with soaring cost of living.

A glass of wine is no more than $2.49, and cheese costs up to 90c per serve
Jason Bowyer, ALDI Wine Expert and Buying Director said: ‘The Trophy Room is a first for Aldi Australia, demonstrating that a fine wine and dining experience doesn’t have to dent your wallet. And what’s even better, you can replicate the exact experience at home.
‘The reality is everyone can have a wine rack and cheese draw worthy of the title the “Trophy Room” if they shop the products on offer at Aldi.’
He went on to describe the value of the range as ‘undisputable’ and is excited to offer customers the unique experience.
Aussies who fancy a seat at the bar will have to be quick as The Trophy Room is open for only two nights.
