A couple of weeks ago I met up with my Chinese friend from Dalian. After talking for a couple of hours we decided to have dinner together. Knowing that I love Chinese food, he decided to take me to his favourite Chinese restaurant in Shinookubo. I have been to this place many times before but I have only feasted the average sweet and sour pork or Chinese style skewers.
Yet, this time we decided to try something different. He told me in his hometown it is quite common to eat silkworms. The reason they are popular is because they are rich in protein and they don`t taste bad.
Knowing that I like a good food challenge we decided to try them.... and to my surprise I really enjoyed eating these little suckers.
Not only were they prepared well but they did not taste bad at all. They tasted more like Japanese Sakura Ebi than anything else. If I have the opportunity in the future I would like to eat this dish again...
And some Northern China style Sweet and Sour pork. Unlike Japanese and American style the Chinese one is breaded with Mochi not breadcrumbs.
