Dragon Fish

Hey! This is Britney showing you delicious dishes from NorthEast China!

So, you have probably heard of sweet and sour pork. A staple in Chinese fast food dish. Well, let me introduce to you Dragon Fish, which is basically sweet and sour fish. You would find this dish at a NorthEast Chinese restaurant. 

To describe the dish, it is a battered deep-fried whole fish that is deboned and cut into pieces that are still attached to the fish. This way, it is easier to pick out the fish. It is covered in a thick sweet and tangy sauce, typically the same sauce you would have in sweet and sour pork. It's crispy on the outside, soft and tender on the inside. 

If you want to try this out in Sydney, I strongly recommend Hong Fu Northern East Chinese Restaurant at Parramatta. They're known for their authentic foods with a wide variety of choices! (p.s. don't expect top-notch customer service but I can assure you that they have the best tasting dishes. That is what Chinese culture is all about!)

Address: 103 George Street, Parramatta, Sydney, NSW

Three delights from the earth

Image
Hi again! It's Britney introducing you to NorthEastern Chinese cuisine. One of the most popular dishes from this cuisine is called di san xian (roughly translated to "three delights from the earth"). It may seem these translations sound too corny but it truly is that good!   This is comprised of three main ingredients: potatoes, eggplant and green capsicum. (what is there to not like about potatoes 😀) It's a golden stir-fry infused with flavours of garlic, vinegar and a sweet brown sauce.  This is a classic dish that is a must-try when you visit your next NorthEast restaurant.  As for a recommendation, I would still recommend eating at Hong Fu, they make the best representation of di san xian in my opinion!  Reference:  https://www.blog.thatsmandarin.com/5-top-dishes-to-order-at-dongbei-restaurants/ Image: https://thewoksoflife.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/di-san-xian-7.jpg

Candied Sweet Potato

Image
Candied sweet potato is a classic dessert in the NorthEast region of China. This dish is a Chinese delicacy that looks like cubes of sweet potato caramelised and stuck together like stick glue! To eat this, you have to pull it out and dip it in cold water to harden the sugar coating on the outside. The warm sugar hardens in the air like pieces of strings when you pull it out. Once you eat it, it is hard on the outside and soft and warm on the inside. Although this dish consists of a few ingredients, it requires a lot of skills to properly prepare. A quick tip: You must eat it quickly or else they will all stick together like hardened glue! This dish is especially tasty during winter and it is quite an adventure to eat. You should definitely check it out when eating at a NorthEastern Chinese restaurant!
