I love the concept of this restaurant. It's a buffet, but raw. Mushrooms, peppers, broccoli, tomatoes, onions, peanuts, water chestnuts, baby corn, sprouts, chicken, beef, pork (freeze-dried, it looks like), eggs, noodles, sauces with names like Mongolian and Sesame Oil. heh. You pick your bowl size & then put whatever you want into it. At the end of the line is a big open flat grill, in the shape of a circle. The chefs take your bowl of raw ingredients & cook it for you right there as you watch. They have neat tricks that they do while they cook, as well. They walk around the circular grill w/ their sticks & just sorta push the food around, squirting water & soy on the grill at random times so nothing burns. Then, when it's finished, they scoop it into a new bowl & send you on your way!
The legend/history is that this is the way warriors cooked back in the day, and that they would use their helmets as bowls. Isn't that neat? But can you imagine - what if you didn't wash your helmet out all the way before placing it back on your head? LOL
With the noodle dish of your creation, you are also served a scoop of white sticky rice and a bowl of an amazing egg drop soup! It could be from a package, I have no idea how they make it, but it's delicious! My favorite egg drop soup so far anyway. : )
Bon Apetit! : )
