I have long heard about compliments for this vegetarian restaurant but only managed to visit it recently. My sis strongly recommended its vegn suckling pig after being there with her friends so I decided to make an effort to try it.
It is eaten with similar method like the Peking duck, using a piece of lettuce? to wrap the slice of "pork" with the special sauce and cucumber. If eaten alone, the pork will taste oily but it tasted wonderfully with the combination of vegetables.

(Vegetarian Suckling Pig)
Abit disappointed as it is more like Dark sauce rather than Gong Bao as not spicy enough & a bit too watery. The mushroom was coated with a thin layer of flour but mushroom itself was not well marinated so you can still taste its tough texture (I think the texture was similar to the frozen instant type which I bought before from supermart) .
:P I know it is not easy to cook the monkeyhead mushroom well, you need a lot of work to marinate and soften its texture. Well, I think the Best GongBao Monkeyhead Mushroom I tasted was many years ago at LingZhi. The chef then really marinated it so well that it tasted as smooth as chicken drumstick meat & I fall in love with this dish & monkeyhead mushroom ever since. A pity its standard was not maintained for my last few visits :-( I tried preparing it myself from the dried mushroom as well as the instant frozen food version but failed to get the texture close to the old Lingzhi std so I know it is not easy to prepare nice monkeyhead mushroom dish. :-( & I would always order this dish whenever I see it in the menu. If you know places that serve nice monkeyhead mushroom, do let me know:-)

(Claypot Chinese Medicine- flavored Toufu)
The toufu was nicely fried & smooth however we can't really taste its Chinese medicine flavour :P Maybe it could also be bec our taste bugs were numb after tasting all the earlier dishes which were more of dark sauce flavour :P
Before we left, I noticed that its poster showed Cold Dish Combinations which look nice, maybe I wld try that next round.
