金钩挂银条 (Mung Bean Sprouts With Dried Shrimps)
Lunch @ The Queli Hotel (曲阜阙里宾舍酒店) in Qufu, to try some of the dishes from the famous "Kong Family dishes" (孔家菜).
I must confessed I had high expectations for this dish. From articles I had read, this dish should be prepared by stuffing each mung bean sprout with minced dried shrimp. And so when the dish arrived, with the mung bean sprouts stir-fried WITH the dried shrimps, I thought I could have saved the 18 RMB. (Then again, it was priced at 18 RMB - what should I be expecting??)
I guess the good old days of servants stuffing dried shrimp paste into mung bean sprouts are long over.
Simple dish really, despite the fancy smancy Chinese name. I probably would have prepared the dish myself for cheaper, as tasty as it was.
