Dessert: 芒果芝麻腸粉

One of the most amazing desserts we had in Hong Kong was while on Cheung Chau island for their Bun Festival  which is held once a year in April or May. We had the pleasure of experiencing it first hand. The humble island of Cheung Chau, literally named long island (長洲), is best known for their dessert specialties. One of the our favourites was a variant on the cheung fan noodles that is made with sesame and has mango fruit and sauce on it. My canto friends call it "manguo jima cheung" in Cantonese, so the literal Chinese would supposedly be 芒果芝麻腸粉. Delicious!
