THE GREEN ONION CAKE MAN It would be an understatement to say that green onion cakes are cherished by locals - in fact, they are so popular that there was even a movement to make them the official dish of Edmonton! The Green Onion Cake Man himself, Siu To, is actually believed to be the person who first introduced this crispy, onion filled snack to the city many years ago. Pair your savoury cakes with Szechuan beef, Lemon Chicken, and Chow Mein to complete your meal. Delicious!
