Ova hibiscea

Cibus promptus Hongcongensis: Ova hibiscea (egg foo young)

Ova hibiscea^[1] (Sinice 芙蓉蛋 fúróngdàn "ova hibiscea"; Anglice [egg] foo young) est ferculum quod ex arte coquinaria Cantonensi ortum in repertorium popinarum Sino-Americanarum rapidius diffusum est. Ad sphungata vel ova spongia Europaea adaequari licet. Sylvia Wu popinaria Sinensis Californiensis de ferculis Sino-Americanis huius generis se antea omnino nescivisse confessa est, "sed nihil aliud in ganeis Sinicis Californiensibus offerebatur."^[2]
