star anise of

The favorite dish of the night was a star anise braised chicken dish that, although much uglier than in the picture menu, was so tender and juicy neither of us cared.

晚上最受喜爱的菜肴就是八角茴香焖鸡，即使要比菜单上的图片难看得多，但却又嫩又多汁，所以我们并不介意。

Boil up some water with 1 slice of ginger, 1 spring onion, tangerine peel and star anise. Bring to boil.

在锅内放入适量之水、姜1片、葱1条、陈皮、八角煮滚，下鸭脷煮腍，约煮25分钟，取起鸭脷及陈皮。

Anise star scent reminds us about the holographic oneness of all life forms and that we are a part of the whole.

八角的香味提醒我们，一切生命形态中具备全息一体，而我们是整体的一部分。
