I always ate at the stalls in HK, Macau and Singapore and it was delicious. The expensive restaurants are tourist traps.

And wait till you get to taste one of our delicacies here- "balut", boiled duck egg(embryo already developed). Or "Pinapaitan", goat stew with its innards and bile mixed in. And then there is the Korean kimchi for appetizers.

The more expensive, often the worse the food, and the smaller the portions.<br /><br />And agree with you about most of your post too!<br /><br />I see you're fully loving Shanghai. What's the population there? 30 million? That's a lot of people for you to practice your Chinese with :)<br /><br />AdrianAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8491088023973371313.post-56403944105914253472010-04-21T05:37:50.761+08:002010-04-21T05:37:50.761+08:00but pig ear is so crunchy and delicious!but pig ear is so crunchy and delicious!胡崧https://www.blogger.com/profile/10445813044481997337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8491088023973371313.post-6339136518341912182010-04-20T14:42:59.236+08:002010-04-20T14:42:59.236+08:00http://www.ctbites.com/storage/I_IKEA_Herring.jpg

They were both in restaurants that would send shivers down the spine of any Health & Safety inspector.<br /><br />In Chinese restaurants outside China, this is a little more hit and miss.葛威https://www.blogger.com/profile/10420143982884130846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8491088023973371313.post-77034409917517046102010-04-20T13:14:22.306+08:002010-04-20T13:14:22.306+08:00hendrian -so true!!

It details why westerners (or non-East Asians to be exact) are sometimes bewildered by Chinese fondness for food that are tasteless and consist mostly cartilage. It's the Chinese fondness for food texture (chewiness, hard/soft, slippery feel etc). I understand it's hard for you to appreciate it, try handing an elder chinese a good flavorful cheese and he/she will think you're giving him rotten milk! I've tried swedish food before, consisting of pickled fish on tasteless crackers/biscuits and colourless fruit drink (elderberry?), they taste horrible!!! I have eaten and enjoyed eating many varieties of food globally, but those two swedish food are yucky!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06505657060702975723noreply@blogger.com
