[edit] Chicken Pie?

Am I blind, or is Chicken Pie missing from the listing? It's definitely a big one missing if my eyes aren't deceiving me.Jon914 08:54, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Yeah feel free to add it. Benjwong 03:02, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Major Chains

I think that it would be worth mentioning some of the major bakery chains. While there are many independent bakeries, there are also chains such as Kee Wah and Maxim's that should be mentioned.Jon914 08:57, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Go for it. I'll throw some historical bakeries in there if you ever get to that point. Benjwong 03:02, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Taro Dumpling

If you read the page on taro dumpling, I think this is being confused with "salt water dumpling." I don't believe taro dumpling is a bakery item. Salt water dumpling is a bakery item; taro dumpling is a dim sum item. (yes, there are items that are both.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.50.113.28 (talk) 02:24, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

This varies depending on where you live. I have seen taro dumpling many times in bakery shops. And I can distinguish between "salt water dumpling". Benjwong 03:00, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Moved from article

  • Lotus Sesame Roll: Red lotus surrounded by moist rice and covered in sesame seeds.
  • Red Bean Roll: Red bean surrounded by moist rice and covered in sesame seeds.
  • Pandang Cake: Flat green gelatinous rice cake.
  • Rice cake: Rice cake resembling angel food cake.
  • Steamed Milk Bun: Angel food cake made with condensed milk.
  • Peach (Longevity) Bun: Steamed bun shaped to look like a peach (symbol of longevity) and filled with red bean paste.
These need to be identified at least by name before going back into the article. The descriptions are too loose. Benjwong 03:00, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Picture captions inaccurate

The picture captions for the two pictures are inaccurate. How can one call that case of baked bread "eastern-influence" when baked bread is really a western thing? It's pointless to have the captions read as western or eastern influence when the influence is actually a confluence of eastern AND western. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.146.7.143 (talk) 17:08, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
