On a couple of occasions I've been invited to restaurants to sample dishes that are proposed to be added to a Chinese restaurant's menu. To the extent that the dish does not make it past the test phase, there's no sense of a public post. But then it's also a waste to not be able to share these items, either. So here are a few dishes which you probably won't ever see.
Sweet and sour eggs from Paradise Dynasty
Dry rub garlic spare ribs from Paradise Dynasty
Hand torn lobster meat with tofu in tomato sauce from Henry's Cuisine. Sure wish I could have this one again.
(Accompanied by a fried rice noodle pancake)
Braised ox tail from Henry's Cuisine.
Throwback Chinese fried chicken (too labor intensive for a menu item) from Henry's Cuisine.
Crab meat fish maw soup with winter melon.
Chinese broccoli and mixed greens with roast pork from Henry's Cuisine.
Salt and pepper crab from Henry's Cuisine.
