Chinese Cusine

The food in China is not what you get from the take aways at home!!!!  There are all the crazy things you imagine; scorpions on skewers, starfish and chicken feet. Dog, intestines and even rectum are on all the menus and you can even order rape!! (there weird translation for pack choi).  We have tried blueberry crisps, jasmine and green tea ice-cream and lots of strange sweet things.  The dumplings are delicious as are the moon cakes and spring rolls sold by street venders.  Other delights include duck, hotpot and lots of tofu! 
As you can imagine there is lots of tea, hot or cold and yogurt is drank from clay pots everywhere.  The Chinese beer is good and cold which makes a nice change to Mongolian beer.
