Salted Egg Pumpkin ~ 咸蛋金瓜

 A sweet and savoury dish which is very appetising.  Unlike the normal deep fried, these pumpkin slices are not.  Instead they are just panfried and coated with a creamy pumpkin sauce, rich in eggy garlic flavour and not too oily.  Partners well with plain white rice.

Char Siew Pau ~ 蒸叉烧包

I have been itching to try out a Pau recipe and vaguely remember that I did make it once, long, long ago.  So I  got hold of my old file of recipes and finally managed to retrieve it.  I did it recently and must say that I'm satisfied with the result.  The texture of the Pau was soft and a bit chewy, wholesome and filling too.  Naturally, they didn't look so nice and round like the ones sold in the dim sum restaurants, but nonetheless I think homemade ones can be just as delectable as well.
