Comments on: Wo Fung Dessert (Aberdeen Center) – Deliciously Greasy Wings http://eatsnaprepeat.ca/2008/07/06/wo-fung-dessert/ Vancouver's tastiest food blog.

The chicken wings were ok (maybe because they just opened), but I was really disappointed with the squid. I was expecting more of a spicy/pepper salt flavour and instead got the plain fried kind. They were definitely crunchy though. It's a lot of grease to take in one sitting, even when shared with others. My sister felt nauseated for the rest of the day. I can still feel the grease in my stomach hours later. It probably didn't help either when we added shrimp okonomiyaki and takoyaki balls on top of all that grease. But it sure tasted yummy at the time. I went to Wo Fung to get my greasy foods fix today. The chicken wings were ok (maybe because they just opened), but I was really disappointed with the squid.

Chinese people call that feeling "yeet hei" (熱氣) which translates to "hot air" but can be more generally thought as "hot energy". It's the state you get into after eating too many fried things... and it usually leads to things like pimples, greasy skin, etc. The opposite of that, in true ying-yang fashion, is "dong hei" or "cold energy". With respects to the Aberdeen Center foodcout, you can get some of this "dong hei" to balance the tentacles/chicken wings by eating stuff like shaved ice, mondo gelato, or even drinking the hk style coffee (which I noticed you smartly ordered) ;) Glad you enjoyed them shokutsu :)

Both were very good, though I think the squid was the better of the two.
