How to cook lotus fried chicken?

The first time I ate fried lotus was at Miaokou Night Market in Keelung. It's crisp and smells like garlic, which is my first impression of this plant. As my impression of the past faded, I decided to re-make this dish with less garlic and a little pepper to make this fried lotus more refreshing.
