Ah but your Cantonese will let me order at the restaurant instead of just pointing at everything.
1. So shrimp ones would be Ha Cherng Fun? 2. Yes...shrimp. The outside seems to be shredded taro and then deep fried. 4. Seemed to be more of the fish/shrimp cake/paste but this time wrapped in some kind of bean curd wrapper. I think it was steamed but I'm not sure. 5. Do you know what the outside stuff is that makes it crispy is? 6. yep :) 7. are radishes the same thing as turnips? Someone else above ID'd these as turnip cakes. 9. They're really tasty but require more work to nibble away the edible parts so I'm not a big fan of them 10. It's tofu! I've been thinking I only like extra firm tofu. So which consistency would I buy to make these? The silken tofu? How do you make the syrup?
