Food... Glorious... Food!!!

It has been really long since I have blogged. For this edition, I have compiled all the food that we had for the past few days. Not a lot though as most of the time I have been staying at home. Found loads of TV programs to watch on TV. Pictures may not be cleared as I have used 1.3 Megapixels mobile camera. Nevertheless, Enjoy!

BBQ Night. The man behind our BBQ-ed food. The varieties of food available here are alright. As compared to the BBQ that our boss brought us the other time, this would be lesser. Had Bak Kwah (Pork), Tofu, Chicken Drumsticks and a wing (not in picture) for RMB 8.50 (S$1.70).

When eating BBQ, the drink to complement your food is 王老吉 (Wang Lao Ji - as shown in picture below). It is really nicer compared to Jia Jia Liang Teh.

This is Shantou's version of Kueh Chap. I prefer the one in Singapore, where the food is separated from the Kueh. The kueh here is very much different too. It taste more like porridge when you bite on the Kueh, whereas Singapore's very smooth and silky.

A Sunday, which we wanted to stay at home and cook. Had 八宝粥 (Eight treasures Porridge). It has barley, green and red beans. Loads of beans in it. So you make up to 8 of it. Eating it with the soy sauce (scallop flavour) makes it even better. We had some leftovers and made dessert with it by adding sugar. Actually it taste nicer when it is sweet.

We told 黄小姐 that I still wanted to eat the 小笼包 that I haven't got to eat. Then she brought us to this shop that is near her place. Instead of being 小笼包, which looks like it, it turns out to be a smaller version of the 肉包 (Pork bun - which is dry in it). I just found out that in Shantou, it is not called 汤包 (Soup bun) not 小笼包. We also have 童子鸡 (Tong Zi Ji - Upper left in picture) and Wanton. Seems like I will have to continue hunting for the right 小笼包 then.
