BEIJING -- Huang Linya, an employee at a local company in Chengdu, Sichuan, sat down to eat an original dish at Silver Pot -- a Michelin-starred restaurant in the capital city of the inland Chinese province. She ordered julienned cantaloupes wrapped in wheat dough, with broiled pork slices placed on top of the dough and caviar and Chinese mahogany leaf buds decoratively added.
"The combination of the popping texture of caviar and the crispy, spicy texture of pork makes this dish very tasty," she said. The dish was created by Zhao Xiaosong, the chief chef at Silver Pot, who says his goal is to produce "new culinary experiences combining Chinese and overseas ingredients."
