“Prawn and lobster brains were considered a delicacy for their rich flavor. The Shen twins and Celia were engaged in the same practice, sipping the heads as if they were miniature cups of mead.” DelicacyBrainsPrawnsLobsters Book:Natalie Tan's Book of Luck & Fortune Source: Natalie Tan's Book of Luck & Fortune
“The server soon brought large platters of cheung fun and zhaliang along with various condiments for dipping. Cheung fun was a delightfully surprising dish: nestled within the flat, translucent rice rolls were plump prawns. Zhaliang were crispy, long fritters wrapped in rice noodle. This was a favorite because of the combinations of contrasting textures: tender steamed rice noodles and crunchy golden fritters. The taste of these two dishes was determined by its accompanying dressing: spicy if paired with hot mustard, salty with soy sauce, and sweet with the peanut sauce.” Chinese FoodCondimentsPrawns Book:Natalie Tan's Book of Luck & Fortune Source: Natalie Tan's Book of Luck & Fortune
