Cantonese, If You Please
August 30, 2014Posted by Kanga. Please do not reblog.
We followed the suggestion of a coworker and had an early dinner at Bi Feng Tang, a Cantonese restaurant a short distance from my work. I like Cantonese food because there is less use of chili peppers.
This is cooked lettuce. For those of you Americans who are now saying “cooked lettuce?!?” with a turned up nose, you should try it. Lettuce isn’t just for putting on burgers or in salad. You should cook lettuce more often. It is good in fricassee and it was good in this sauce.
Our drinks came with caramel popcorn. The container had two parts – the bottom contained the drink and then on top was a separate cup with the popcorn.
Steamed pork buns.
The red bean buns were made to look like little piggies, but contained no pork.
Pork buns with squid roe on a bed of onions.
Pork dumplings. This filling feast cost us 208 yuan ($34.00 USD, 124 AED). I think it bears repeating.

Indeed Karla, the green of trees is easy to forget until one returns to a less severe climate.
Was that part of a supper that was swimming away from your lens? 😉
