Bean Curd Skin with Mixed Vegetables
That right there is today’s lunch from Gourmet Garden over at Walton and Adams in Rochester Hills. Yes, I know it looks like some sort of cross between umbilical cord and intestine, but it’s really, really incredible. It is very thin sheets of tofu wrapped around bunches of veggies, then tied with knots and steamed, served covered in a nice brown sauce. The veggies inside included mushrooms and a mix of tofu, bean sprouts, and a few other things.
It’s really, really good. Here is a photo of the inside of one of these dumpling-like items.
I keep becoming more and more impressed with this resturant. Lunch prices are reasonable, the food is excellent, and it seems to be actual, real Chinese-type food. Mmm.
that photo is completely unappetizing looking, the lighting makes that look disgusting. i just gagged on my own Chinese food as this was the first and *huge* image that loaded when i went to check livejournal posts.
make it smaller next time, PLEASE. and light it better!
Actually, it looked just like that in person. It’s a pretty accurate representation… It really did look that bad. Tasted great, though.
Interestingly, I’ve found some of the best Chinese food that I’ve ever eaten looks awful.
Oh, I just realized, you forgot to use my favorite reply: “I just threw up in my mouth a little.”
it looks kinda gross, but sounds delicious (:
