Kong Yi Ji Shang Yan

Updated: 2008-08-07 11:04 We had two main dishes: a 55 day old duck marinated in Chinese yellow wine for 18 hours and then smoked (88 yuan), along with the traditional accompaniments (the age and the marinating giving it greater delicacy). The second dish was a fried boneless fish fillet sitting atop a pallet of grilled eggplant, sweet potato, and two crisp fresh asparagus, topped by fine spun sweet potato and a ladder of fish spine. A golden citrus sauce flecked with pepper brought it all together (48 yuan). A plate of seasonally fresh beans somewhat like lima beans in appearance, flavor, and texture arrived and were delicious (if you like lima beans-I do). And finally, a crispy bottomed meat dumpling, a triangle of sesame topped puff pastry made with lard (don't worry, it was small but had that flavor only lard can give), and a ball of frozen sticky rice flour filled with whipped cream and diced fresh fruit-a real treat. Well worth a visit.
