Small dishes designed for girls

Guo only went to the Zhejiang Banshichu Canting twice, but was impressed by its tiny dishes.

Longjing Xiaren, a shrimp dish, was her first order. “I was a little shocked when the dish came,” she said, “A handful of shrimp on a tiny plate cost 128 yuan?” She knew why as soon as she tried o they were delicious! She said Zhejiang shrimp is made without much salt and other seasonings, so she could taste the original flavor. “Shrimp in other restaurants is too salty. Here, it was just right and healthy too.”Guo recommended the Jiaxing Small Zongzi, a typical southern food made of glutinous rice and filling rolled up in a bamboo leaf. However, the dish here was a little different. These zongzi were not steamed, but were fried with steaks. “They were so tiny and cute, like a oy. It is probably designed for girls and only costs 48 yuan not expensive at all,” Guo said.Could small dishes be the secret to how Zhejiang girls stay slim?

“If you have a girlfriend who is on a diet, take her ther,” Guo said, “Actually it was my boyfriend who found this plac His hometown is Hangzhou.”
