Pleasures of the Table in 10 Cities Nobody knows when kouweixia (a kind of shrimp), made by an old lady in Nanmankou, became the most famous Changsha dish. In this dish, the shrimp is quickly fried with pepper, anise, fennel, garlic, ginger, and cooking alcohol. A big basin of these red shrimps in such loud colors will without a doubt make your mouth water. Another popular dish is called fenghuanchao (phoenix coming back to the nest). After the whole chicken is steamed, it is circled with boiled eggs and then steamed again with cabbage, mushroom, and black fungus, and then seasoned with ground pepper. This dish is an indispensable course of lunar New Year's Eve dinners because its shape and name symbolize family reunion.
Northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region has vast grassland, so animal husbandry is the main industry there. Hence it is natural that meat is the main course on the table of Xinjiang people.
Xinjiang people always choose roast meat to entertain their guests, and with portions ten times bigger than that in Xi'an. It is a wonder how they can eat such a big portion! The boiled mutton, which is eaten with the hand, is put on a big plate about 50 centimeters in diameter.
