Cat Who Cooks

In a remote oriental country, there is a small and odd restaurant that has refused the three-star rating by the Michelin Guide several times. 
“The price is fairly expensive over there, 288RMB for a set meal of Egg Fried Rice and a bowl of soup. Ah, and an extra small plate of pickled vegetables as well. Even so, there are still a long line of people queuing up and waiting for a taste. Reservations are not accepted there, only waiting and queuing personally is allowed. 
“Numerous people fly there on their private planes just to queue up. Furthermore, parking bays and parking spots are not provided there. The service is terrible here. Customers have to clear the tableware themselves and wipe the table as well. For god’s sake, the boss is literally crazy.”

    In fact, Gabriel couldn't be blamed. The bamboo chicken that was served looked ordinary at first. It was just a bamboo tube that was burned black and shiny. One end of the tube was stuffed with Big Green leaves, and the fragrance was gone.


  "What's this?" Gabriel looked at Zhou Jia who was carrying the dishes over.


  "Wait a moment." Zhou Jia said gently and then carried all the dishes out of the tray before she started to help him unwrap them.


  The bamboo tube chicken was placed in an emerald green oval plate. There was a groove in the middle of the plate, and this groove happened to hold the round bamboo tube, so that it would not roll.


  On the other side of the plate, there was a small green stick with a sharp end that looked like a short chopstick.


  "Pick this up and then gently stir this part." Zhou Jia said and gestured at him.


  "Alright," he said. Gabriel picked up the short, needle-like stick and poked it at the place Zhou Jia said.


Can bamboo be eaten?
