"The Dongpo pork is even more impressive: braised pork belly is cut with a knife into one continuous strip and layered inside a pyramid mould, which is then filled with bamboo shoots and steamed for a couple of hours. Chestnut pancakes are served on the side so you can construct your own delicious pork sandwich."
