There is a dish called “bang bang chicken” (bàng bàng jī) in China, which takes its name from the fact that the chicken is tenderized using a hammer or a big stick.
The Philippines has its own version of apple pie made from coconuts and condensed milk. Buko pie is believed to be invented by Soledad Pahud. She discovered apple pie while working as a maid in the United States. When she returned to the Philippines, the lack of apples led her to invent a coconut based recipe.
