*When you buy carambola, also called star fruit, look for ones that are uniformly yellow to orange and have a subtle perfume.

A legendary Chinese dish: whole chicken rubbed with soy and sesame, stuffed with seasoned pork and mustard greens, wrapped in lotus leaves, sealed in clay, and slow-roasted until fall-apart tender.

This is very tasty even if you can only add the grapes or the pineapple, but really good with both. People who don't like curry, and those who don't like fruit in their meat, LOVE this. It is very refreshing and a great treat for visitors who just had to travel on plane (or for any other dehydrated guests.) :)
