SHANGHAI, China - A restaurant in northeastern China that advertised illegal tiger meat dishes was found instead to be selling donkey flesh - marinated in tiger urine, a newspaper reported Thursday.

The Hufulou restaurant, located beside the Heidaohezi tiger reserve near the city of Hailin, had advertised stir-fried tiger meat with chilies for $98as well as liquor flavored with tiger bone for $74 a bottle, the China Daily reported.

Raw meat was priced at $864 per kilogram.

The sale of tiger parts is illegal in China and officers shut down the restaurant, only to be told by owner, Ma Shikun, that the meat was actually that of donkeys, flavored with tiger urine to give the dish a "special" tang, the newspaper said.

The report didn't say how the urine was obtained.

Authorities confiscated the restaurant's profits and fined Ma $296 it said. It wasn't clear what Ma was fined for. Selling donkey meat is not illegal in China and it is widely consumed in the northeast.

Ma had initially claimed that the meat came from dead tigers sold to him by the management of the Heidaohezi reserve, but later changed his story, the report said.

While Heidaohezi's director denied that claim, the reserve, with about 150 tigers, has been involved in similar controversies in the past.

Until China outlawed the trade in 1993, the reserve received most of its revenue from the sale of tiger skins, bones and other body parts, which are believed by Chinese to imbue vigor and sexual prowess.

Probably because dude was selling donkey flesh yet claiming it was something else.

No, its true. When we was in london, we saw this chinese man outside the back of his restaurant shaving a tiny kitten, feeding it pig fat. He was gonna cook it but we paid him £75 not to and he gave us the cat, his name is Noodle cos we got him from the Chinese take away!

Why would you want to eat either? They are like disappointed that it's Donkey and not Tiger. Who wants Tiger? That's sick.

Meat is meat, anything mammal is eatable. I bet tiger meat is just as good as cow meat or horse meat or whatever meat you eat in America.

Why not? You haven't tried it. Your ancestors were eating this type of stuff just to survive.

My ancestors were broke.

What does being broke have to do with the kinds of meat you eat? They are just as nutritious.
