Dish of the day

I had already picked a pretty strong winner for dish of the day and even began writing the entry when I came across one I had not yet seen. The one I had picked will have to wait, and I think you might agree.
This one on page 44, courtesy of the Kongfu Hotel, may be a gold medal contender for dish of the trip, according to the specialties listed in my Haidian District guide book. Um, take a look at the second entry (I swear it says this) and tell me if maybe the chef had his mind elsewhere when he agreed to list these specialties of the house: "Kongfu No. 1 Dish, go-to-court with son, fish balls in soup, shredded fish, first-class tofu, Taibai goose, Yantai jiaozi."
