I had this 小吃 (snack) when I was in Hong Kong in November. It’s called 漆饭 (pronounced as “chi fun” in Cantonese. “chi” meaning “to stick”) and it’s glutinous rice wrapped around some fried doughsticks (油条) and pork floss. Seems like many people like it going by the number of people in the eatery. The famous one is called 一品香 at Causeway Bay. The eatery also serves other Shanghainese delights like Xiaolongbao and other types of noodles originating from northern China.
Anyway, maybe it’s because I don’t like glutinous rice in general, hence I didn’t like that 小吃. I didn’t think it was that fantastic…frankly it was rather tasteless. I think I’ll just stick to Xiaolongbaos!
