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] Why was this text removed?

As its name implies, this dish is made with little effort. It is made with a thick fried flour casing opening upward (that looks like a lotus) from the outside, as well as fried rice from the inside. This dish is special due to its shape, although the general recipe is quite similar with other dishes made from flour, such as wonton and jiaozi. Badagnani 19:08, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

I can't be sure the flour is rice flour. In fact, I want to say egg flour. Benjwong 19:19, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

The English-language recipes I found online all said "wonton wrapper." That means wheat flour. I assume this is for people at home, whereas restaurants might make their own dough. Isn't it odd, though, that a southern dish uses wheat flour? Though I guess "wonton" is also Cantonese and uses wheat flour. Badagnani 19:24, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

I hope more wikipedia chefs contribute, because I honestly don't think it is "just wonton wrapper". Benjwong 19:27, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Title

Shouldn't the title be in Cantonese spelling? Badagnani 19:10, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

Since this thing has like a thousand names, I am not too concerned. I suggest making redirect pages to here though. Benjwong 19:24, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merge

Support merge. (Though shouldn't the title be in Cantonese romanization rather than pinyin?) Badagnani 19:40, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
