乌鱼子 (Grey Mullet Roe)

Lunch @ "度小月".

 

I had featured this before - dried grey mullet roe is very popular and highly prized in Southern Taiwan.

 

Here, the restaurant had served this as an appetiser paired with a slice of Chinese pear. I find the pairing odd and jarring. The Chinese pear was very fruity and sweet. Instead of complimenting the dried roe, the fruit dominated the taste and aroma, overwhelming he delicateness of the dried roe.
