Our group: Di Yin, I, Di Yin's Harvard friend P, Di Yin and my old
friend J, and two of Di Yin's academic compatriots in Shanghai
I and M. We ordered the usual (hence I didn't take pictures
of these dishes): tea-smoked duck (delicious as always),
cabbage and Sichuan black
beans in a clay pot (also remarkably good--literally, people did
remark on it (as with the duck)), fish in hot chili oil, Beijing-style pancakes made
with pork (good, especially the bean sauce, but I still wish there
were more cucumbers and chives), and assorted mushrooms. We also got one
new (to me) dish; see the next picture.
