Cheung fun (steamed rice noodle rolls) is a Cantonese street food that is topped with tasty sauces and often eaten as breakfast, lunch or a snack.

Red Bean Pudding Cake (Boot Jai Go 砵仔糕) Recipe
If it is not obvious enough, I love the Hong Kong cuisine and street foods!

Spam and Egg Macaroni Soup Recipe (午餐肉通粉)
I don't eat Spam very often, but when I do, it brings me back to Hawaii, where they are known for Spam musubi!!

Hot Vietnamese Coffee Recipe (Cà Phê Sữa Nóng)
