bamboo wheel (Japanese: bamboo wheel, ちくわ, Japanese Roman character: Chikuwa) is commonly known as poodle fish egg, poodle pill or poodle in Hong Kong and Macao. It is a cylindrical cooked food made of flour, fish and protein;

In the 198s, a set of Japanese dubbing cartoon "Ninja Grinch" was broadcast on TVB children's program time in Hong Kong, in which the poodle loved to eat bamboo wheels. At that time, most people in Hong Kong didn't know this kind of food at all. Later, bamboo wheels were introduced to Hong Kong for sale, which was exactly the same as that shown in the animation. Therefore, many people in Hong Kong called bamboo wheels poodle fish eggs or poodle balls.
