What's on Waimai is a monthly column where we single out delicious delivery food choices for your dining convenience.
When you think of waimai, Cantonese cuisine generally isn’t the first thing to pop into your mind. There is one dish at Diandude (点都德), however, that is without doubt an irreproachable option to satisfy your lunchtime cravings.
Diandude’s hongmichang (literally translated as ‘red rice roll’) comes with nine pieces of juicy shrimp covered by a crispy breadcrumb exterior and wrapped in a red glutinous layer made from rice. It’s crunchy, savory and oh-so-flavorful, and we f-ing love it!
Each order comes with two sauces: your standard soy sauce, as well as a thick peanut glaze that perfectly complements this tasty snack.
One thing worth noting is that each piece is quite filling, meaning you’d be hard pressed to finish the whole meal by yourself. But that’s okay, because once you order one of these bad boys, your coworkers or friends will flock to you from all directions, which, in a way, can serve as the perfect olive branch for forgetting to compliment their fresh haircut last week.
