Wow, that’s really cool. I’ve never seen a chicken done this way before. Have a great WW.

Whoa! I don’t know what to say. That’s definately a chicken…

That does look quite cool and also scary.
Thank you for your comment about my mum.

My MIL does that too when she’s praying. She puts a red-date(hong-zao) in the chicken’s mouth

OMG! That is quite striking (and shocking!) isn’t it!!

I am going to put this in the category of you learn something new everyday.
Have a Wonderful WW!

Eeew… Poor thing!
On my blog, there was actually no “love at first sight”, but only ONE fish admiring itself in the glass of the aquarium… Tricky photo, huh? LOL
Thanks for visiting!
Happy WW! :-)

I am with Digital Flower on this one. I have never seen anything like that–but very, very interesting.
January 23rd, 2008 at 2:12 pm
eww. chickens really are ugly when naked.
January 23rd, 2008 at 2:33 pm
Wow, if that doesn’t bring back memories from our trip to China, nothing will! Their chickens left much to be desired. Yet I kept ordering it everywhere I went HOPING for something like we get back here.
I invite you to see my WW post for this week.
January 23rd, 2008 at 2:47 pm
ummm yeah….there is just zero possibility I could eat that.
happy WW!
January 23rd, 2008 at 2:53 pm
Eeek! That chicken is naked!! Errrm

There’s a big ruckus in the UK about chicken - caged versus free range - with TV chefs trying to gross us out enough to buy expensive chicken. Well, I think they could just use that picture!
January 23rd, 2008 at 3:46 pm
That’s not a very plump looking chicken, but it’s interesting that it was steamed, beak, comb and all!
January 23rd, 2008 at 4:08 pm
Ick. The pork looks good. I can’t say the same for the chicken though.
happy WW!
January 23rd, 2008 at 4:24 pm
I’ve never sen that sort of arrangement before. Happy WW
January 23rd, 2008 at 7:12 pm
Ooh. I’ve never seen a chicken cooked with its head on before! Happy WW.
January 23rd, 2008 at 7:13 pm
in my mind….there is a chicken doin 69 with pork..yuck!
January 23rd, 2008 at 7:33 pm
Never seen anything like that before. It doesn’t look very appetising.
January 23rd, 2008 at 9:00 pm
Whoa! That is definitely unique, Pelfy!
Is it for Chinese New Year? Moon Cake Festival?
Have a great week!
January 23rd, 2008 at 9:20 pm
Oh dear, pelfry, I don’t know what would happen if I put that chicken on my table…We’re all used to what we know, right? Thanks for showing us this.

I have never seen anything like this before, nor did I know about the tradition. That was really good! Not only I get to enjoy great pictures, now I’m learning too! :-)
Please check my post here.
Happy WW!

Interesting photo! I’m not sure I like the look of a featherless chicken though.
January 24th, 2008 at 9:27 pm

January 24th, 2008 at 9:28 pm
I pity the chicken.Oh, he seems only sleeping.
January 24th, 2008 at 9:30 pm
I am sure that the one who did that is a great cook!
January 25th, 2008 at 2:02 am
Eeewwww! No way I would eat it with it’s head still attached! 8-\
