Day 3 of Business Trip Dinner

Not much narration needed. Another fabulously filling and delicious meal at the hotel restaurant.

Menu:
-Yi Mien with carrots, mushrooms, pork, and shrimp stir-fried with light soy sauce
-Baby Bok Choy with Shitake Mushrooms and a fried bean curd puff with fish paste inside
-Teppanyaki style beef strips with wild mushroom and red peppers
-Eggplant in a Hot Chili Oil with Chili, green onions, and minced pork

The entire menu was pretty delicious and cheap to boot because we were about an hour’s distance from the Guangzhou city center.
There were two dishes worth mentioning! The teppanyaki style beef strips were by far my favorite dish of the night. The seared flavor of the beef complimented the wild mushroom so well! The second place award would go to the eggplant in chili oil. While I have to admit I used to barely touch spicy foods, I have grown to rather enjoy the tingling sensations of my taste buds when it touches chili. My senior was sweating and looked rather uncomfortable… poor boy. While many people do not like the texture of eggplant, the super high temperature and hot chili oil make the dish a must try. I have to say the oddest texture and combination of flavor award would go to the fried bean curd puff with fish paste. It was soft with the oddest slimy texture. Not really my cup of tea but others might enjoy it.

Cheers! and happy eating!
