The other time one of my blog readers said he could not say chili sauce in Cantonese. Today I’m at a Chiu Chau restaurant and their chili sauce is quite unique – not extremely hot however very aromatic. It's excellent to go with my turnip pudding, and many other dim sums. So next time when you want to order a dish of chili sauce, say this:

    Hiya, Just want to say; I came across your blog through Google. I was born in England, and love HK food but I normally can't read up about it because I can't read Cantonese fluently. So thank you very much for your site!

    Me and my boyfriend love looking through all the photos of food!

    Best Wishes, :)
