    I love that you are using your platform to share about traditional foods, and also helping to showcase our local hawkers. Without you, I would never have found so many amazing hawkers. Thank you Gregory! 👍🏽😊

    Phoenix Bakery on North Broadway in Los Angeles has been selling these to tourists and delighted children since at least 1955. Excellent lotus seed pastries also.

      I found this video doing a search on how to make them. I remember going there in the 80’s with my Grandmother and rest of my extended family.
      If we ever got a box home, I could never only eat just one.

    Very cool of Mr Poon to allow filming of the entire process. Will go give my support soon!

      Ikr! It's really generous of him to share! :) I've walked past his stall at Chinatown before; next time I'll go try too 👍🏽

    @hilaryblye9501 3 года назад

    Please tell me where they still make them in NY. I used to get them at Mei Lai Wah. That was really the only place they made them. What a labor intensive process!!! I love them. Isn't there anyone still making them????

    @awesomekoga7848 3 года назад

    I thought this would teach me how to make it at home. It’s more of a watch how it’s made video. I didn’t realize how much work it is. I ate honey twists often in high school. Haven’t seen it around lately.

    This practice of cooking procedure must be centuries ago from China ... you probably won’t be able to see them for long .. unfortunately
