Anyone made bao buns?

Weirdly Char Siu bun is one item that is one of my least favourite growing up, the meat can be had in many other dishes and the bread to me was just bread. I seldom order them and if my parents did, I didn't eat them.

But then obviously compare to bread in the west, it's like a cloud !
 
I was never a fan of the buns either. I prefer things like siu mai and I remember my mum making really tasty fried rice.
I'm useless at cooking, so I do kinda miss it all being home made.

Heh I can totally understand that. But I'm a totally sandwich fiend. I love all country's different ways of sticking some awesome meat/cheese/stuff in between bits of bread/taco/etc. :p
 
Speedfreak>Yep in the new territories. It in the Yuen Long side. I don't know what part you are from but be warned you entering Hakaa central when you step off the bus. The first thing that hits you is the smell of burning pig skin...

Because it is perfectly normal to use a blow torch to burn the hairs off...

My brothers and sisters hate going there but I love it. There is nothing like burning pig skin first thing in the morning!

It's meant to be eaten as a part of dim sum and there would be other items for breakfast as opposed to have like 10 of them as a meal. Think of it like the roast potatoes in a roast dinner, and you don't have just a plate of roast potatoes, you have other items.

Don't tell me how to eat my roast potatoes. :mad:
 
Speedfreak>Yuen Long=Sai Kung i.e If you take the whole of Hong Kong and the New territories part, the most concentrated part of Hakaa is those two places. There is a large population in Tai Po as well but not as much as those two. I grew up around the language and tbh I don't understand a single word besides swearing of course.

Their cusine hasn't changed at all. Every meal there is pork and veg guaranteed and it been like this as far as I can remember. It like for god's sake there are other meats available...

As for congee I hate this with a passion. Growing up as a kid I hated two things rice and water. Mix the two together and it was bleurgh bleurgh.

I never go to the congee places.

If I remember tommorrow I will take some pics of the various Dim sums although it is pretty much standard wherever you go.
