delectable
Yau Char Kway, a deep fried pastry of Chinese origin. Made of flour, and a spinkle of rice flour to make it crunchy. They come in several variations. Plain, wrapped with glutinous rice, cinnamon-centered or sugared sesame seeds. Butterfly-, round-, oval-shaped and is a typical breakfast choice. Fried in a huge vat of fat. Eaten as is or dipped in thick, black coffee. In Dim Sum parlours, it is sliced thinly, re-fried and sprinkled over porridge.
Damn it, this post is making me very hungry.

I like it very much!
Currently I am immersed in Mexican food, but this looks wonderful. I especially enjoy the portrait.
Hummm cela ouvre l'appetit, ce qui tombe bien, bientot 12h30 l'heure du repas bien merité ;o).
Belle photo.
Je te souhaite un bon week end
Hummm that opens the appetite, which falls well, soon 12h30 the hour of the well deserved meal; O). Beautiful photograph. I wish you a good week end
OOOoh, a delectable shot. I think I prefer the character of the woman to th food though - sorry!
*evil* .. i'll have to look for the recipe somewhere :p
Good shot. You've got everyone hungry.
I like food pictures a lot...
Hi there, Edwin! I really like the photo but I LOVE the treat. We have it with porridge usually but I have not found it in San Antonio yet. I like it plain with chicken porridge. YUM!
Looks yummy!! I had the ones sprinkled on porridge at dim sum restaurants.
Oooo sounds delectable. Save me some. I think I'll dip it in some coffee thanks.
I want some. I'm such a glutton for fried food.
Looked delicius! And I like this lady very much! Nice shot! :)
Yum, yum. I started salivating as you described this treat! I think I would like the sweet version with the sugared sesame seeds. Seeing her concentration and her older hands at work reminds me of my grandma.

A bit of flour in a vat of fat gets everyone going, doesn't it?
