Spinach

Jiangxi


It's not all Popeye at 40 paces at this friendly, no-frills restaurant; there are plenty of other dishes besides, and some handy photos on the wall to aid ordering from the Chinese-only menu. Recommended dishes include: yóu lín bō cài (油淋菠菜, freshly fried spinach), bōcài níshuǐ pò dàn tāng (菠菜泥水破蛋汤, spinach and egg soup) and tǔdòu shāo niúnǎn (土豆烧牛腩, beef and potato stew).
