Beggar's Chicken is a traditional Chinese dish that originated in Shanghai. The dish consists of a whole chicken that is stuffed with mushrooms, bamboo shoots, and other ingredients, and then wrapped in lotus leaves and baked in a clay crust. The result is a tender and flavorful chicken that is infused with the flavors of the stuffing and the lotus leaves. One of the best places to try Beggar's Chicken in Shanghai is at Fu He Hui, a high-end vegetarian restaurant that specializes in traditional Chinese cuisine.
