Both good questions to which I do not know the answer! The dim sum were deep-fried, I think, and they had pumpkin in as well as being pumpkin-shaped. The menu just said "Mini golden pumpkin (齋南瓜仔)".

Re pigs... I can't actually remember! I have been leaving presents in several people's houses. I do remember leaving someone some pig eggs... or were they seasoned beans... I honestly am not sure :)
