  For culinary anthropologists happy to persist and eat off-piste, it's definitely worth a visit.

  Be honest with yourself. When was the last time you had a meal that started with potato and ended with it, too? Unless you've been on some unique spud diet, or down celebrating harvest with the potato growers of Korumburra, I suspect the answer is "never". It was a first for me. But here we were at Confucius Court, a new restaurant in Glenferrie Road where Panda sat for decades, winding up a rather interesting dinner with a potato dessert. Low carb it ain't. But more of that later. Confucius opened a few months ago, proudly branding itself as a "Shandong Chinese Restaurant". I have to admit not knowing Shandong was a province of China; I'd not heard of Shandong cuisine before, either. This is where the restaurant's menu comes to the rescue. Sort of. It explains that Confucius was born in Shan Dong. It also says Shandong cuisine "can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn period", whatever that may mean.
