    Just letting you know, there are at least two thriving Fuzhou communities in Malaysia. One at the peninsular Malaysia town called Setiawan (实兆远) and another one at Sibu (诗巫). I am from Sibu. We still make and eat Guangbing the traditional way.

      I've had both. Guanbing is like half way between pretzel and bagel closer to the pretzel side. The how it works part are very similar though: a bread with a ring for string together and lye to make it taste and smell better. The wood fired brick oven wall makes it taste a lot crispier.

Mongolian food became one of the regional Chinese food, akin to all other regional Chinese food, which probably originated as the food of the various tribes in the different regions.
      Yuan dynasty is an integral part of Chinese history, hence also its food. There are more Chinese people of Mongolian heritage in China than non-Chinese Mongolians outside of China.
