Day 113 (7.2.12): Hong Shao Pork, Food for the Terracotta Army


Hong Shao Pork (from Shanghai No.1)

It's jello! It's canned cranberry sauce! No--it's just really bizarre pork!

Even if I didn't really eat any, I have to write about this--it's fatty and lean pork slices from a restaurant called Shanghai No. 1 in Monterey Park. The moment I saw the pot, though, all I could think was:

Terracotta Army!


Pot = clay soldier, no? Sort of?

Anyway, I did try a bite of the pork, and it was pretty gross. Apparently that's how it tastes when it's really well made though. Really, really meaty and fatty and really, really gross.
