Beggar's Chicken (叫化鸡)
Lunch @ Lou Wai Lou Restaurant (杭州楼外楼 - 孤山路店) [louwailou.com.cn/] - one of the top restaurants in Hangzhou.
I have featured this earlier, with a version from a standard eatery in the City. It was nice but not spectacular. This is THE version - more luxurious, but of course. The chef actually presents the baked product right before your eyes. The chicken is baked, stuffed with fermented dried vegetable, Shiitake mushroom and shredded pork. The stuffing cleverly accentuated the fresh taste of the chicken; threading the luring aroma of baked lotus leaves to deliver a complete culinary experience.
