Shrimp paste wrapped crab claws is also an old school Cantonese banquet dish, but has disappeared from a lot of menus. The deconstructed lobster salad (with apple and mayonaise) is another, but that’s also HK Cantonese rooted (where they take a 9V battery and light up the lobster eyes…)

!!!

Why hasn’t @chandavkl @ipsedixit and others mentioned this yet?! 9-volt battery powered Lobster Eyes at a Cantonese dinner?! LOL.

Because its fucking creepy.

Like sex toys. Good in theory, not so much in practice.
