Thanks to TBJ for the inspiration.
Ingredients:
4 slices white bread (or 2 slices whole wheat + 2 slices white) // You may remove the crusts
2 large egg yolks
3 Tbs. of Maple Syrup, plus more for drizzling
2 Tbs. bourbon (or whiskey) // Optional, but this is the whole point

(This applies to meat eaters only, at this time)
Two simple tests using 2 dishes:
1) Siu Mai meat
This test measures the quality of ingredients being used by the restaurant.
These come in the small steam baskets and consist of something like a wonton skin wrapped around pork, with a little carrot cube place on top.
What form is the pork in? If it’s a pure ground pork meatball, then the restaurant has cut corners here. You should be able to see and taste individual cubes/chunks of real pork meat, along with real chopped mushrooms, dried shrimp, and maybe some bamboo shoots.
