A Skip and a Hop to China!

Holy moly!!! The food here is spicy!! Talk about clearing your sinuses!!! I knew that food in Hunan was spicy but I had no idea it was this spicy. Every time I eat I feel like my lips are going to burn off!! I love the food here! It is nothing like Chinese food back at home! In Hong Kong when we would go to eat each dish had such a variety of colors and flavors. My first meal in China was at this small resturant by the docks in Hong Kong. It was a chicken chow mein. It was very mild but way good!! This picture is of part of our group eating. We had to split our group into 2 tables. From left to right is Sam, Anna, Savannah, Megan, Danielle and Melinda.

When we arrived in Changsha we ate dinner at the hotel. Lany, our leason bought us dinner. It was so good! The Chinese eat many courses each varying from veggies to fish to chicken and beef. She had the cooks make it not as spicy. It was still very spicy to me. Just imagine that you eat a halbenaro pepper with Tabasco sauce... thats about how spicy it was! My favorite dish was the fish. I'm not sure what kind of fish it was but it was delicious! I even at one of the fish eyes! Hey when in Rome!!! It really wasn't that bad! It tasted like the spicies that were on the fish so it wasn't fishy at all and the texture was a little slimmy and crunchy. Yum!! lol
