Other than ministry, the most frequent topic I was asked about this week after returning from East Asia revolved around food: "How was it?" The answer? AH-MAZING. Way better than the typical Americanized Chinese food. Meals are served on a table top lazy susan and shared family style. Some of my favorite dishes are shown here -- kung pao chicken, spicy green beans (with numbing spices that are illegal in the US!), garlic broccoli, duck, and sweet and sour pork. After church on Sunday, we went to a restaurant that serves Hot Pot (photos below). It was QUITE interesting! The chef wheeled in a cart of raw fish and cut it up before our eyes. We had other raw foods like spinach, tofu, cabbage, noodles and meats. We threw everything into the pot in the middle of the table, one side mild and one side HOT. The food cooks in the pots and then you dig it out with chopsticks (easier said than done). A new favorite place to eat was a Muslim restaurant down the street from our hotel, photos of which are below. Everything there was delicious, from the potato cakes and chicken skewers to the fried lamb, naan and pepper dish that was served in a cast iron skillet that looked like a shovel. I may have eaten at this place twice in one day... :)
