Fish is a very popular dish here. As you can see, it is the whole fish with bones and everything. I actually got a large fish bone stuck in my throat a few weeks ago and had to gag it out...since then, I have vowed never to eat fish again.
This is one of our favorite meals. You have a boiling pot of soup then you pick out whatever meats, veggies, tofu you want and add them in. You get super full and it is very cheap. For the two of us, we usually spend less than $5.
For those that like man's best friend...move on to the next picture...
These are some desserts we got in Hong Kong. The bowl is red and green bean porridge (sweet -- red bean is a used in a lot of sweet dishes here) and something like black glutinous rice with mangoes wrapped in something I can't remember...
This is one of our favorite dishes -- claypot rice! The cook the rice in a small claypot, then add toppings of meat and/or vegetables. The rice stays super hot and creates a crispy layer on the bottom which is N's favorite part. Give me the dark vinegar and I'm all set!
Ok, a very popular food item in a little town south of us. It is spicy pepper chicken pieces soaked in pepper oil. I tried it...probably won't try it again.
This is after a meal of stir-fried dishes. We probably had about 10 people at our table. You just eat off whatever plates you want. It's nice to share!
