April 9th, 2006Food I ate in Yangzhou
I came back from Yangzhou (扬州) on Friday evening but was too tired to resize the pics. I didn’t take many photos there. I will post the part 2 to my Xiamen trip some other time. Today, I’ll post some food pics.
We had lunch and dinner at the hotel restaurant on the first day and lunch on the last day. The food looked pretty much the same all 3 times.
We had fish each time but they were cooked in different ways.
The fish dish on our last day:
Jin duixun from South Korea and Willman from Cuba, the only two guys sitting at our table. They are both very funny. hehe
There were around 10 dishes on the round table with a huge platter of rice in the middle.
This pork dish reminded me of a dish which my mum usually cooks. It doesn’t look exactly the same but tasted quite the same because of the sauce and the vegetables. I forgot the hakka name of the dish but Rosemary tells me that it’s moychoi niouk. I’ll ask my sis to ask my mum next time I chat with her.
At home, I usually just eat the vegetables but this time, I decided to try the pork too. It was surprisingly quite good and seemed to melt in my mouth. That kinda makes me regret all those years during which I didn’t eat the pork in that pork dish my mum cooked. :laughing:
On Thursday night, nearly 5 hours after dinner (which was at around 5:30 pm… Chinese people eat dinner quite early.:shock:) , my friends and I went to Mcdonald. I’m used to having dinner after 8:30 pm in Mauritius. The food was alright but we ate too early and went shopping after dinner.
Yeah, it does look like Moy choi niouk!!!!!!
Lol, I tried eating the ‘fat’ too before but never did quite like it (meme ki kalité fondant). I usually ate the lean meat and the vegs only and my dad and bros in law used to laugh at me and say tat am not ‘vrai sinois’ :confusion:. It’s mainly coz the real way of eating moy choi niouk is supposed to include the fat part.
You’ve grown up, aline…you’ve grooooooown up!
hahaha
haha…but the MOYCHOI NIOUK was good huh!!!
sometimes i really missed the food that my dad n mum cooked at home.Even if i do cook here,but the taste doesn’t come out the same as theirs. :no:
Omg.. I am sooo hungry just looking at that disk of pork.. I hate lean meat
I love those ultra fat meat, taste great :cheers:
*muttering to myself* … Reverse psychology… Reverse psychology…
ALINE! How about posting MORE pictures of food?
:laughing:
Woo, yummy food
梅菜扣肉…i love that Hakka Dish too…yum yum yum!!
huNgry :laughing:
That pork meat is so fatty but enticing
*thinks of the fat instead 
* 5:30pm for a dinner to me is also too early.I usually have dinner from 7pm to 8pm as I will have feel hungry by then :laughing:
Oh i love that dish > 梅菜扣肉 hmmm oh McDonald’s, didnt you guys have french fries? darn! zot finn rat la moitie zot lavi.

:laughing: I’ll give my mum’s Moy choi niouk another try when I go back to Mauritius.
