I always have 肠粉 when I visit Hong Kong or Guangzhou. Never tried it with bitter melon and chicken. Was it served with a sauce or gravy?

It was wrapped in 腸粉，similar to how shrimp is wrapped inside. This was the first time I saw it on the menu - and it's a dim sum place I've been going to for a while. I wonder if it's because 苦瓜 is really in season now, or somehow we're getting a lot in California. It was served with soy sauce over the 腸粉，which is how this particular dim sum place does all their 腸粉。 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abcdefg Posted August 14, 2018 at 07:12 AM Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2018 at 07:12 AM That sounds delicious! I'll keep an eye out for it on my next trip south into "Cantonese-food land." I always enjoy that cuisine. So many brilliant combinations of flavors, lots of them gentle. I like Yunnan cooking but sometimes want a change from all the hot peppers and other strong notes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
