芋角

芋 is taro (short for 芋頭), and 角 is corner, angle, or horn, and in this context indicates a horn-shaped dumpling. So 芋角 is taro dumpling.

芋 is a shorter version of 芋頭 wuh táu, thus this dish is also referred to as 芋頭角 (wuh táu gok).

A classic dim sum item, taro dumplings, sometimes called taro croquettes, taro puffs, or yam puffs (the Chinese word for taro is also the word for sweet potato), are football-shaped shells of mashed taro enclosing a seasoned ground pork filling, deep-fried until fluffy and crispy with a honeycomb appearance. Often cut in half when served.
