Prawn and Mango In Shredded Filo Pastry


Most of my guests gave 2 thumbs up for this little delicacies. I've tried this dim sum in Hong Kong many years ago, but I added a twist to it by adding slices of mango to enhance the overall taste of this simple snacks and added a hint of fusion food to it. Please do give it a try to impress your guests. It's versatile enough to be added in your menu as a starter.

  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 egg white
