Hong Kong To-do:
edit purge
  • Clean up all MTR station pages. They are literally all over the place. Two model pages are Tsing Yi Station and Sheung Shui Station. They each describe a feature special to the station, Station layout, exit, and connections, as well as neighbouring stations and the station "box".
    • We will also need plenty of updated pictures (e.g. removing all KCR-related images except those on the KCR article). Check that all pages have basically the same language structure as Tsing Yi Station and Sheung Shui Station. Links to location maps are good too. (Should also perform these checks on Chinese Wikipedia.)
  • Clean-up pages that link with TVB, especially its series pages.

[edit] Jian dou?

This really should be named in cantonese, not in mandarin. InfernoXV 16:29, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

Is it strictly a Cantonese food, originating in Cantonese culture? Badagnani 23:58, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
Actually it's not. It's found in Northern China, especially in Beijing area. cecikierk

[edit] Mung bean paste

Can't mung bean paste also be used for a filling? Badagnani 04:18, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] User:Carlsmith's page move

This editor should have used "discussion" before moving the page. The spelling used is not common on a Google search. Badagnani 06:31, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

I am more confused about the name Matuen? Isn't it the small crunchy snack that looks like a Jin deui but not the same thing? It has no fillings and is much smaller? Benjwong 00:14, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

That is possible! It's a hollow ball with sesame seeds and no filling? Seems to me an entirely different food that merits its own (separate) article. Badagnani 00:17, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

By "small crunchy snack", do you mean the little deep-fried sesame covered solid lumps that are usually sold around Chinese New Year/Mid-Autumn Festival?

The hollow balls taste about the same as the filled ones (only sans filling), so I don't think those are a separate food.. probably just a "flavour" or variety. Oltri 19:11, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Outer Layer

What's the outer layer made of? Some rice flour dough? Just curious. 87.78.114.98 20:42, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
