LOLS You’re so silly!! You know what’s funny, I went to my parents last night for dinner and my mom walked by there and saw the char siew and got some. Like you said, it was saltier than the one’s I’ve had before, I wasn’t a fan. Whenever I go there, I usually get the chinese sausage bun -=X It’s kinda nostalgic. lol

@Danny – Yup, sugar, lard, egg, and flour. According to Wikipedia, pineapple buns are one of the “top 10 most harmful snack foods in Hong Kong.” Top ten, oh yeah!!!

Mmm… that looks delicious. Usually I cross the street and go into Dragonland for something like that. But yea, you can’t really go wrong with that stuff. That yellow stuff is just fat + flour, right?

@James – No, I haven’t. I usually get the shrimp and walnuts at Congee Village. I love the candied walnuts there. I’ll try the shrimp next time I go to Big Wong, but my last meal was a big bust. Cold roast pork, and thick slimey chow fun.

Looks like I’ve got a stop to make for dessert prologue on the way to banana pudding. Have you tried the walnut broccoli shrimp at Big Wong? I don’t even like shrimp that much, and I’m a convert.
