These "Shiitake Mushrooms" are one of the Chef's Recommendations at Chao Yue Xuan.

As with most of their other dishes, the presentation is impeccable. Three "shiitake mushrooms" are placed in the middle amidst edible "soil" topped with some edible flower cuttings.

The edible "soil" turned out to be crushed oreos! Don't be fooled by the "shiitake mushrooms" as they are buns painstakingly created to look like shiitake mushrooms right down to the stalk! Each of these mushroom buns contain a salted fish and minced meat filling which was really tasty. As with the swans, I wish though that the fillings were more substantive and the flavours stronger.
