And here's this month's edition of "what Perfect Number has been eating in China":
 |
| 番茄炒蛋 (fānqié chǎo dàn) Fried tomatos and eggs. |
 |
| Whoa cool, ice cream! That looks really good! Ummm, no actually, this is mashed potatoes. That was not a typo: this is mashed potatoes. Cold mashed potatoes with some kind of sweet blueberry sauce and a cherry on top. WHYYYYYYYY WOULD YOU DO THAT????? My 2 Chinese friends who were with me also thought it was incredibly bizarre. |
 |
| Kiwi and yogurt for breakfast. |
 |
| Fancy coffee. |
 |
| 奶茶(nǎi chá) In English, I guess this is called "milk tea" or "bubble tea," but uh, I haven't had it in America so I don't know. |
 |
| Some fast food from a cafeteria-style place. Tofu, horrible-tasting veggies with eggs (I thought they were green peppers. They are not), and rice. Always gotta have rice. |
 |
| 鸡蛋 (jīdàn) Eggs. In a bag? Idk, man. You can also buy them in plastic cartons, which seem much more normal to me as an American. |
 |
| 青椒炒蛋 (qīngjiāo chǎo dàn) Green peppers and eggs. AWESOME! |
 |
| My attempt at making 番茄炒蛋 (fānqié chǎo dàn) fried tomatos and eggs. They came out okay. |
 |
| 鱼香肉丝 (yú xiāng ròu sī) Shredded pork and veggies. |
 |
| 芒果冰沙 (mángguǒ bīng shā) Mango smoothie. |
 |
| 炒饭 (chǎofàn) Fried rice. |
 |
| Okay so there's this place that makes really awesome crepes. (可丽饼 kě lì bǐng in Chinese, but it's from France so most Chinese people don't know what a 可丽饼 kě lì bǐng is.) |
 |
| Doesn't that look freakin' delicious? Banana, vanilla ice cream, custard, whipped cream, caramel. |
 |
| Here is the finished crepe. |
 |
| TOTALLY AWESOME ICE CREAM! |
 |
| Pineapple fried rice. |
 |
| 宫保鸡丁 (gōng bǎo jī dīng) Kung pao chicken. |
 |
| 土豆丝 (tǔdòu sī) Shredded potatoes. And some mysterious type of meatball. |
 |
| I bought this mysterious vegetable. I have no idea how to cook it. |
 |
| Fancy coffee. |
 |
| Pig ears. Kind of chewy... I only ate one. |
