Chinese Dreams

A whirlwind tour of china (Beijing and Tianjin) gave me the chance to eat some fabulous food. I toured the night markets with Hias Gourmet Tours (more later), ate Mongolian buffet lunch and lots of other treats along the way. I loved breakfast time. It usually involved sweet bread (chinese bread is very sweet) curried bamboo shoots, fried rice, eggs hard boiled in soy sauce, noodles, stir fried cabbage and congee - a light soup style liquid. Corn congee was like plain thin semolina. Weird but comforting. Such a different offering to our breakfasts of cereal, milk and toast. I like.
