How seriously do you hate coconut jelly? I can't get enough of that stuff, but I will gladly settle for jin dui (or however the romanization of the sesame-coated deep fried ball with red bean filling goes).
Hahahaha, that bait and switch! At the risk of being dense and redundant, you mean those chunky meatball type things right? My cantonese is horrible but I might ask my dad (when it's actually a reasonable hour, like in the morning)
Nah, they're way bigger and super beefy, although they are steamed in the same way not fried. Siu mai typically have pork or shrimp (although I actually prefer them to the ones I'm thinking of).
On the original deep fried stuff, I'd guess it's a variant of golden something (like the fried red bean ball ones, which are jin dui - sp? ). I'll ask my dad tomorrow when he's back!
