New Delhi, July 6 -- A Shanghai restaurant has sparked debate over a pricey dish. Jinlong Dabianlu Restaurant sells stir-fried tomatoes and scrambled eggs. The price is a staggering 520 yuan, roughly Rs.7,000.

This dish is usually a cheap, everyday household staple. Yet, this version costs dozens of times more elsewhere. Vloggers visited the restaurant and filmed the cooking process. They then shared these clips widely on Chinese social media, according to the South China Morning Post.

The chef uses a large, dark green emu egg. It replaces the usual chicken or duck egg. The shell is so thick he needs a hammer. He cracks it into a goblet, not a bowl. According to vloggers, this adds "a true sense of ceremony".

The tomatoes are a premium...
