This is about food!
We had a great dinner with the Shanghai Teachers at 品三国, that means "Taste the Three Kingdoms". All their food names were based on stories of the "Three Kingdoms". We had a great time... Most of them came during their summer hols and we became great friends!
Look that this... it looks like soldiers on a dragon boat... head is quails eggs with a mushroom hair. Body is rice wrapped in pandan leaves. Think this is called 草船接箭。
This is a HUGE bowl... see the bread beside it for relative size. It is called 水煮鱼。To me it is more like 油煮鱼。They are fish and some veg put in hot oil (without cooking), it was cooked by it's oil heat.
And the all time favourite Xiao-Long-Bao 小笼包. It is very cheap and nice. The huge one is called Tang-Bao 汤包. It looks like a bao from the outside but the soup is inside. I had a hard time figuring out how to eat (with some graceful-ness)
They had the plate lifted up by a stand and I think I am supposed to put my face over it and sip up the soup. Can't waste the soup, it's crab soup! Heavens... =)
