New place that specializes in congee and “rice rolls”. Apparently it is from the Guangzhou area. “Rice Rolls” are like very large dumplings where the outside is presumably made of rice and you have a wide range of choice of fillings. There are also a few dim sum items on the menu.
Anyway, we sit down, the waitress brings the menus and right away tells us that the dish with the pork kidneys is not available! I had to refrain myself from laughing and replying “who the hell eats pork kidneys anyway?”. Then I look at the menu in more detail and see quite a few items that probably won’t be selling like hot cakes, at least to the non-Chinese clientele: pork liver, fried fish skin, chicken feet.
I consider myself fairly open to trying new things but liver and kidneys don’t appeal to me at all. Same for fried fish skin and chicken feet (which I know is a delicacy in China).
