Dinner

One of my students (Low) invited us for a big Dragon Boat Festival dinner at his family's newly-opened restaurant. Lots of pictures uploaded at http://gallery.me.com/bgw1114/101693 (scroll down to near the bottom).

Dinner

Anatolian place on Hengshan Rd., Shanghai

Turkish bread with 5 dips: potato salad, hummus, yogurt, tangy yogurt,
and spicy tomato

Turkish dumplings in yogurt sauce

Delicious!

Western Breakfast on Air China

Eggs, carrots, tomato, broccoli, and potatoes. Potatoes were almost
flavorless, but they were pressed into smiley faces!

Thunder Bamboo

A dish we had recently is called Thunder Bamboo, because this
particular kind of shoot sprouts at this time of year, when there are
lots of thunderstorms. Cooked in broth with some pork (fat) slices.

Dinner

Friends Restaurant

Grilled Mekong Fish (with lime wedge - and no bones!) with tomato and
red onion salad
Burmese chicken curry with noodles topped with crunchy noodles
Caramelized pineapple on coconut and chili ice cream
Raspberry and vanilla smoothie

Fish was the best, but it was all good!

Dessert

Sugarcane juice with lime - unlike in China, where you chew on the
sugarcane and spit out the pulp once it's dry, at Cambodian sugar
juice stalls there are machines that squeeze the juice out, then the
juice is poured into a cup with ice and a straw. Better than chewing
and spitting (and probably a little better for your teeth, too)!

Dinner

At The Smokin' Pot

Pineapple Orange Banana shake
Beef Lok Lak (a little sour, with egg on top and onions and cucumbers)
Fish Kroeung (sour soup)
