The real traditional filling for 餛飩 is pork meat with no shrimp and people modified it to become the HK style by adding the shrimp.

If I am wrong, please correct me.

I used to sit in front of the SiFu wraping wonton on the street.
All his stuff are all in the cart, the boiler, noodles, tables and chairs are on the side walk.
You never have experienced that.

I, in fact, experienced that. It is not in HK, but in China. If you travel to some remote areas in southen part of China such as 廣西.雲南, you will have a chance to recall the experience again.

Well, I just listed out what I know about 餛飩/雲吞.

1.        餛飩=雲吞. Cantonese people call it “雲吞” because餛飩 is not a common word and many people do not know to say it, so people slowly use the word雲吞 instead of  餛飩.

2.        餛飩=水餃. These two were originally the same but just the way of eating is different. 餛飩 is eating水餃 with soup.

3.        After餛飩/水餃 comes to the southern part of China, it slowly develops to a kind of distinctive southern style food.

4.        Different places of China call it in different name and the fillings are, of course, different as well. The information below I copied from Internet.
               
中國北方等地通常稱為餛飩，與餃子無異。 (I tried in 北京. 西安)
天津通常肉餡小的稱為餛飩，而肉餡大的稱為雲吞。(I tried in 天津)
四川俗稱抄手 (I tried it in 上海)
湖北有人也称为饺子、包麵 (I tried in 長沙, 湖南)
上海、苏南、浙江等地的吴方言“馄饨”與粤语发音颇为近似。(I tried in 上海.無錫.杭州 and other places)
香港、澳門及廣西东南和南部地區稱之為雲吞 (I have tried it many times at home and Vancouver. )
閩南語稱扁食、扁肉，肉馅一般是用槌敲打而成 (I tried it in 上海and 福建厦門)

I find that many other fillings which do not use shrimp taste very good as well since it is much juicier (thinking about 小籠包). 福建扁肉 also has its very distinctive taste and texture.  
At our home, we often make雲吞 filling with no shrimp as well.

I much prefer the Cantonese version, homemade of commercial type.
It is much more interesting.
Since the  pork used by local Chinese restaurant  are not that great,
generally meat buns  pork dumplings ...

You only know Cantonese style.

Don't try to mix two totally seperate things together. We are talking about the different style of 雲吞. Not about the meat.

If you do not know, you don't have to say anything. Just listent to the sharings from other people and learn from them.

件事可唔可以從另一角度來分析
廣東雲吞從皮到餡
跟北方錕飩都不一樣
北方野  海鮮 河鮮 偖侈品啦
廣東鮮蝦雲吞早期唔係我地普羅大眾可以負擔
係西關大少亱宵
當然要精緻  咪要細粒 一啖一粒
麪要細箸 唔係要泥填飽 ...

Yes, the different style should be heavily decided by the food materials that are available, as well as the economic condition and culture.

Therefore, you will find 餛飩/水餃 in 江南 (蘇杭, 秦淮河,揚州,上海,南京) is much more 精緻than Northern  餛飩/水餃 such as 東北水餃, because江南 is richer, more food material available and people historically have more 文化氣質.

I feel so sorry to hurt your feeling!!!

Did I attach you? I just correct your errors. Did you realize how silly the statements you had made? They just show you knowing nothing but still want to show off.

I always welcome corrections from others. You can correct me as well and I welcome that at any time.

How hard is it to admit that you don’t know something and you were wrong?

No one tried to attack you but yourself. When you cannot defence yourself for the silly statements you made, instead of admitting you were wrong, you would accused other people attacked you.

You have been saying you are a humble person. So how humble you truly are?   

BTW, if you insist, I can list out the silly statements you made in this thread and identify clearly why they are silly.

If you want to help out, just point out which point I said was wrong.

That is all you have to say? Should I say - "你食屎多過我喔屎"?

If what I said was wrong, just point it out. "入廚房多過我地" will that make what he said to be true? How stupid it is.
