No i had never heard of it either, i cant recall seeing it on a menu
here in the bay area but i talked to a friend of mine who lives in NYC
last night and he says its common there and as noted by previous
posters, varies greatly in quality from restaurant to restaurant.

On the other hand, i often don't read a chinese menu very closely, often
i wouldn't know one dish from another by name and so while i don't
recall a mention of it i might just not have noticed it. Im going over
to chinatown to day and will look at menus.
