Merge gai mei baau

[edit]

I'm proposing to merge gai mei baau into this article since they are the same thing. If there are no objections, I will do so. —Umofomia 05:23, 11 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Agree. Please do merge. Take the categories and put it in Chinese pastry. I think that is why I didn't find it before. It doesn't hurt if you have both pics so the one I upload doesn't get orphaned. Thanks. Benjwong 14:11, 11 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Origin of the name

[edit]

"gai mai" literally means "chicken tail" or cocktail. is "gai mai" Cantonese for cocktail (alcoholic beverage)? Or is it an idiom meaning "odds and ends", which would fit the description of the invention of the bun? (Aside: I do quite like the English translation of the name. It is one of the few foods that has a nice English translation.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.50.113.28 (talk) 02:20, 17 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
