The Beijing Zoo goes great with a side of mashed potatoes:

[T]he zoo's restaurant serves things like the webbed toes of hippopotamus, dishes made with crocodiles, scorpions, kangaroo tail, deer penis, ant soup, shark fin soup, peacock, etc. Until recently, signs on the animals' cages even contained information about which parts were tastiest and which parts could be used to make traditional medicine (aka placebos, for the most part).

Or, if you're on a tight budget, head down to the local Chinese Walmart.
