Quoth Flying Grype

The place used to have a full sushi bar, pans heaping full of green beans, trays of Alaskan King crab legs, mounds of shrimp and pounds of mussels. Sushi bar is gone, crab legs are gone, green beans are gone, and mussels and shrimp are greatly diminished. It's starting to taste more like cheap Chinese mall food, really.

@ Impri: There's a dish called "3 Ti" that a Chinese exchange student was telling my History professor about that the student enjoyed. It's called "3 Ti" because of the sounds it makes: A baby mouse squeaks when you pick it with your chopsticks, squeaks when you hold it in boiling water until it's cooked and squeaks when you crunch it between your teeth.
Another dish she enjoyed? Monkey in cage below a special table with a hole. The cage rises, the monkey's skull fits in the hole. They cut off the top of the monkey's head and pour boiling oil in, letting the monkey scream and thrash about and die before picking it out with chopsticks.
It just goes to show you that one man's stomach churner is another man's delicacy.
