Egg foo young is a dish that you commonly see on the menu of westernized Chinese restaurants. These little omelettes full of Chinese BBQ meats and fried veggies are so easy to make and delicious that the best versions I've had have actually been made at home. If you can't get out to your local Chinese BBQ restaurant, any meat can be mixed into the eggs to make this dish.
This dessert has many variations in Asian cuisine; the Chinese, Japanese and Vietnamese all have their own versions. The one that you can find in Hong Kong style pastry shops contain either sweetened red bean or peanut, with a sprinkling of shredded coconut. The flavours of the coconut and red bean are reminiscent of the hot red bean soup dessert served at the end of meals in a Chinese restaurant (if you receive fortune cookies, ask the server for the real Chinese dessert); only at room temperature, making it a perfect treat for the warmer months of summer.
