foo yung
nounEtymology From Cantonese 芙蓉 (fu4 jung4).
- To someone who had spent part of their youth visiting a grandmother in Singapore, a lot of the food they served didn’t seem particularly Chinese to me: the flavour of chop suey with its chicken or pork or prawns, or chow mein, or the omeletty foo yung, never seemed quite right.2011, Clarissa Dickson Wright, A History of English Food, London: Random House Books, →ISBN, page 455:
