寸金白菜 "Inch Gold Cabbage"

Dinner @ "郑厨私房菜", a home-style restaurant, opened by the Chairman of the Chaozhou Culinary Institute, himself the son of one of Chaozhou's 4 famed chefs of the past. Tucked away at a hard-to-locate corner of the city, I absolutely love the humour of the sign outside the restaurant stating "酒香不怕巷子深" (If the food and wine are good; one is not afraid to venture down deep alleys for them)

 

Steamed cabbage rolls with a seafood puree as filling. The taste is wondrously light but robustly sweet and umami. The cabbage were steamed perfectly - still firm to hold its shape, but cooked long enough to lose that offensively raw earthy taste.
