[edit] Square noodles used elsewhere?

These have a Chinese name so I presume they originally come from the southern Chinese regions from which the Chinese immigrants to Malaysia and Singapore came. Thus, I'm going to add a WikiProject China tag. I believe this type of square rice noodle is used in places other than these two countries. I just ate some of this in a Chinese restaurant in Ohio, and I believe it was either a Cantonese or Fujian-style dish. Badagnani 19:57, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

For Cantonese stuff I tend to prefer to add the HK Project, as I suspect that represents a larger proportion of en: Wikipedians, but I've left the China tag in this case. FlagSteward 20:53, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
It's popular in HK as dim sum, where it is known in cantonese as jyu cheung fun. It is exactly the stuff described in rice noodle roll. Badagnani, was it you who added the merge tag? I think it should be merged into the rice noodle roll article, describe the differences in which it is served depending on area and we can then get rid of the worldview tag .

Yes, let's merge it. However, text should be added that it can be sliced and used without filling. I have eaten this noodle stir-fried in Vietnamese restaurants, unfilled and sliced into circles. If someone can add something about this, it would be great. Badagnani 16:17, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

Cool, we'll merge it. Just out of curiosity, what do you mean by sliced into circles, were they in hoops, or just round and flat? Phonemonkey 00:42, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

They're cut into bite-sized pieces, I guess. Photo 1 Photo 2. Badagnani 00:45, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
