The above is my favourite - taro puffs!
It's been 58 years since I left HK. Going close to the island in April but won't have time this trip to visit. We'll be spending time in Guangzhou and my village in Toisan.
My brunch today: leftover lamb filling from Shepherd's pie earlier in the week plus scrambled eggs.

Deep-fried won ton

Deep-fried taro fritters with chicken pieces
Steamed beef ribs with black pepper
Har gow
Xiao long bao
