Hello, Tokyo C9..... welcome back to your blog!
I was so lucky that I got invited to this special Shanghainese lunch party a couple of months ago organized by a Chinese food lover. Thank you Mr. Luk Yu for inviting me.
In Japan, I can hardly eat "authentic" Chinese food and thanks to these bunch of Chinese food lovers, I can sometimes get the "real" taste.
涼拌毛豆青瓜
Shanghainese Edamae and cucumber salad (with a twist of garlic)
My dad's good friend (a Shanghaiese himself) always made this at his home party.
椒鹽鴨舌
Deep fried duck tongues
I loved its spiciness.
五香蠶豆
Fava beans blanched in star-anise broth
(I asked the chef for this recipe! Wahh kaa kaa, so typical of me.)
涼拌海蜇
Shanghainese jelly fish salad
Do you know jelly fish can help to reduce the flame in the lung?
八寶雞
Chicken stuffed with chestnut and cooked in soya sauce
I once cooked the whole chicken for my friends and it was left untouched at the end of the meal. I first thought Japanese don't eat chicken with bones, but I was wrong. For Chinese food lovers, they ate them without a 2nd thought!
紅燒雙筍
(春筍 + 茭白筍)
Spring bamboo shoot and wild rice bamboo
I love its crunchiness! A special spring treat!
蒸釀豆腐
Steam stuffed beancurd
This dish reminded me of my Chinese roots so badly. The roughly chopped ground pork was definitely something that I missed!
涼拌豆腐干
Shanghainese tofu salad
I quite liked it.
I licked the sauce long enough to analyze its content.... I think I got it.
薑葱蠶豆(火靠)大眼雞
Splendid Alfonsino cooked in fava beans soya sauce
A typical Shanghainese cooking where soya sauce reduction method was used.
花蛤蒸水蛋
Shanghainese steam eggs with clams
When this first came out, I thought it was 雲南氣鍋湯湯 SOUP!
And it turned out to be steam eggs with clams. The eggs were indeed a bit overly cooked, yet, the soup yielded was so sweet and full of clam flavors. I drank up all the soup leaving all the eggs behind.... when you reach up to my age, cholesterol has to be restricted!
餸飯配菜
I have no idea what it is but it seems like one of those preserved side dish good to accompany with rice. Next time, I will try to reproduce something similar.
麻醤涼麺
Cold noodles wrapped in sesame sauce.
I have to say, this is one of my favorites. I always make it at home. Their sauce is a bit waterly but I loved their strong vinegar content. With bean sprouts, a MUST treat for summer.
Together with the shop's home made chili sauce, unbeatable.
葱油麵
Non soup type noodles wrapped in spring onion oil sauce.
A specially ordered dish on site! Ghee, their noodles were great! Want to eat again.
芝麻湯圓
Glutinous rice dumping filled with sweetened black sesame sauce.
This was one of my favorites, too!!! The black sesame stuffing was very well done. Sooth and silky and not too sweet.
Thanks again, I had a great meal!
