Crispy Prawns With Crushed Almonds ( 巴达木脆皮虾)
Lunch @ "Xibo Xingjiang Restaurant" (锡伯新疆餐厅), specialising in the food of the Xibo people live mainly in the northwestern hill country of Xinjiang.
The waitress 'warned' my table that this was one of the least ordered dish in the restaurant but we went ahead anyway, for the curiosity of the taste of a dish with deep-fried shrimps covered in crushed almonds.
The nutty taste was very strong - folks who love roasted nuts would love this. I don't mind the nutty taste, but it was so strong that it overwhelmed the shrimps and one could have used old newspapers instead of shrimps and I wouldn't know the difference.
My suggestion to the restaurant - this dish is not doing the seafood any justice - do consider removing it from the menu altogether.
