Koneko Posted March 10, 2007 at 09:04 AM Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 at 09:04 AM How weird?! See here. (Written in traditional Chinese though) These days, you can have pumpkin noodles, pumpkin baozi, pumpkin mantou, pumpkin dumplings, pumpkin poached eggs and even pumpkin milk tea!! I would like to try them but I am not sure if I will like them... How about you all? K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onebir Posted March 11, 2007 at 03:49 PM Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 at 03:49 PM I think some health benefit of pumpkin was discovered recently... Maybe that's behind the pumpkin boom? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koneko Posted March 12, 2007 at 12:12 AM Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 at 12:12 AM But pumpkin itself, is quite sweet. How could they use it in savoury dishes like noodles, poached eggs?! K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studentyoung Posted March 12, 2007 at 02:12 AM Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 at 02:12 AM But pumpkin itself, is quite sweet. How could they use it in savoury dishes like noodles, poached eggs?! Yes, pumpkin is quite sweet. When I was young, my mum cooked a delicious dish called “豆豉鲮鱼焖南瓜Braised Canned Fried Dace and Pumpkin”, and it tastes not so sweet. I think it might be acceptable for you, Koneko. Hehe, even you can’t enjoy pumpkin, a lovely kitty like you can still enjoy canned fried dace, right? There is another pumpkin related food called pumpkin seeds南瓜瓜子, which tastes not so sweet. How do you think about it? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koneko Posted March 12, 2007 at 10:06 PM Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 at 10:06 PM He he... I am willing to try new things. I just realised that I haven't had dace before in my entire life! K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
projectgcm Posted April 2, 2007 at 12:20 AM Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 at 12:20 AM I actually have tired shrimp and pumpkin dumplings and I would have to say they weren't bad at all. I ordered them accidentally it was their house special dumplings. It seems to have the impression that food mixed with pumpkin would be sweet but actually wasn't surprisingly.

zozzen Posted April 2, 2007 at 09:10 AM Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 at 09:10 AM oh, i love them! it's a dessert based on some existing famous chinese desserts. . 奶皇包 is a steamed bun with sweet, butter, and egg. 炸饅頭 is a fried bun, served with sweet milk. 湯丸 is a sweet soup dumplings, with red bean, peanut or sesame. The above recipe only put pumpkins to these desserts, and i don't think it will taste bad. I've tried a pumpkin sweet cold soup in Hong Kong and it's one of my favourite desserts now.

Gary Soup Posted April 23, 2007 at 03:39 PM Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 at 03:39 PM Pumpkin is used a lot in SE Asia and the Middle East as well, but not uncommon in China even in main dishes. Here's a "country-style" dish from the Shanghai region which alternates pumpkin slices with pork slices: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
