This post is going to be dedicated ENTIRELY to the food in China. It's been quite a while since I wanted to publish it, especially as
for me, the "Little pleasures of life " blog includes the pleasure to taste and enjoy great food, especially quality food.
The food experience in China was quite unique because there are so many choices and varieties that you end up being astonished every time you eat in a restaurant.
I will try to present some of the things I have tried, knowing that for most of them I don't know their names, or entirely their composition. Sorry about the quality of the image, at that time I was only interested in the taste of the meals
Here we go:
- Pekin Duck: is a traditional dish in Pekin(Beijing) and has a special way of being served with pancakes, cucumbers and sweet bean sauce. You will fill yourself the pancake with sliced duck meat, vegetables and sauce and eat it like a wrap. You can find the description of the cooking process here. The taste of the meat is different from the usual taste we know here in Europe, as it's more saucy, crunchy and tasty.
- Exotic Food market: when I say exotic, I refer to all the weird animals and insects that you won't ever think of eating. In a central food market in Beijing you can try scorpions, snakes, small fried birds, grasshoppers and sooo many others. Have a look at the photos. Which one would you eat ??
- Chicken Stew : served with brown rice is definitely an amazing dish. Although I was used to the chicken stew even in the Chinese restaurants in Europe, I must say that the way they cook the chicken stew in China is really amazing. Could it be the local mushrooms they have used? I will never know, but I will definitely buy this again.
Yellow Moutains - a sunrise journey
The journey to the Yellow Moutains started at the bottom bus stop from Huangshan, early in the morning. As this mountain is quite famous for its scenery, all the websites recommended to climb the mountain on foot in order to take a glimpse of every stone and peak that will rise in your way. The climbing took about 3.5 hours , with many stops due to the heavy stairs that you have to climb.
But the road was full of young and old people, everyone of them trying to do their best to climb up as fast as possible.
What amazed me the most was to see men carrying heavy burdens on their shoulders. They were carrying sodas, water, fruits and food t
Hangzhou - the road to your inner self
Hangzhou left me with an amazing feeling of belonging to another world. Everything here is so far away from everything I knew in Europe. The people, the food, the lake, the religion, the flavors, the scents that blew me away and wanting to taste everything and explore more and more.
I visited the city and its surrounding in August and I must say that here I experienced the highest temperature and humidity in my life. It was therefore mandatory to rent a bike and do the tour of the West Lake which is quite big with beautiful scenarios to be seen.
I was first impressed by the huge plantations of Lotus Flowers. Apparently the Lotus flower love
Shanghai - the modern city of constrasts
When I think about Shanghai the first thing that comes in my mind is the bloody sunset I have seen from the Oriental Pearl Tower, which is a 468 meters tower, located in the business district of Shanghai.
The tower has also transparent glass floors at the last floor so that you can experience a unique feeling of walking up high in the sky while seeing everything that's down at the base of the tower.
The experience was quite noisy and extremely busy, but that is normal in China.
If you like to see the city from the Huangpu River, do not hesitate to take a cruise and enjoy a ride in near the Bund, while admiring the futuristic architecture r
Happy birthday to all the women out there!
I really wish all the love in the world to all the women out there who have celebrated this day
together with their loved ones!
8th of March was definitely a sunny and lazy day for me. So I really enjoyed talking a walk in a typical French city, which is called Metz, from the Lorraine region of France.
It's like nature was relaxing in the sun and everybody was enjoying life...There were many ducks and swans on the river which passes the city...It was just amazing...
Here you have a glimpse of it.
And how did you guys spent your 8th of March?
