Shibuya - 2007 05 10 - Cerulean - Szechwan Chen


This time, picked up my courage to order Szechwan Chen, 四川陳, (the guy as shown in Iron Chef).

From page 13 of the room service menu, find an interesting set:
(D) - Pork sweet & sour sauce (black vinegar flavor) for JPY 4,042
The set comes with steamed rice, soup, Chinese pickles, Chinese pastry and desert.

As you know (if you cook), sweet & sour pork is one the simple dish that's hard to make perfect!  After watching so many episodes of Iron Chef with 陳 as the competitor, been looking forward to TASTE his POWER!

OK, after a bite of the pork, I felt great disappointment!  The meat is good, source is great, but the skin of the pork is not crispy and the source is too thick (too much corn starch)!  Soup is wanton soup and the so call Chinese pastry is Beef Siu-Mi!  Don't even want to try the desert!  Most importantly, there's only SIX pieces of pork!!!

STILL FEEL SO HUNGARY!  Need to order American breakfast for tomorrow morning!
