disagree  Amira A Wahab: زلابيا تطلق على الحلوى الشرقية
35 mins
  -> check the wikipedia Amira, thanks!
agree  Nadia Ayoub
36 mins
  -> Many thanks Mrs. Nadia
agree  TAKOAS (X): it is a dumpling /zlabia ...check wikipedia
43 mins
  -> many thanks Abdel Rahim
neutral  Nesrin: I would transcribe it شوماي and not mention الخنزير because pork is one of many fillings a shumai could have. In this case it's seafood.// Yes I guess it depends on the specific recipe - I did see seafood shumai recipes with and without pork.
3 hrs
  -> The website i counted on describing a recipie in English reading" seafoad or pork shumai" and when you read the fillings you will realize they mentioned both seafoad and pork, which means both are to be translated. thanks for your comment Nesrin!
