    HK dan tart(egg tart), lou por beng (pastry with some kind of filling), zhu cheong fan (rice noodles), zha leong (rice noodles wrapped with fillings), chi fan (glutinous rice with filling of chicken floss and sth else), kai dan zhai (erm...dunno how to describe this - it's some cake like food), tang zhai zhuk (seafood congee)

    In china the only thing I know of that's famous is the siu long pao (dumplings with soup inside)
