Delights at China 2013



The meals for this trip with routes to main attractions of Yungang Grottoes, Wu Tai Shan & Er Mei Shan were excellent. Almost daily 10 course Vegetarian dishes that I greatly enjoyed with the whole tour group requesting for vegetarian meals throughout the trip.

Below are some of the more representative meals recalled...

-----------------

 

Our taste of Rice Dumpling at China on Duanwu Festival ~ Sweet dessert instead of salty type found in Spore and Sumptuous lunch at 大同 Datong 's restaurant ~ 川釜魏道 Chuan Fu Wei Dao.

 -----------------------------------

 

Nice vegetarian meal at Wu Tai Shan' s 全素斋 Quan Shu Zhai Restaurant.

Pictures speak more than words...

 

 ---------------------------------

 

From Elaborate to Simplicities, some nice dishes from our dinner at foot of Er Mei Shan, Hongqi Hotel 's restaurant: 峨眉景閣 Er Mei Jing Ge  

 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Another sumptuous spread awaited us at the 留香阁饭店 Liu Xiang Ge Restaurant near the Car-park at Er Mei Shan. 

 

And there, we met our sugared tomato dish, I gathered the sugary way of sprinkling sugar on top of Tomato slices or Pumpkin or Yam may be a speciality around Si Chuan state.

And I love it! Wonder if the dish could be found in Singapore's Si Chuan style eateries...

A good recharge of local snacks (RMB5~S$1) along the climb to JinDing of Er Mei Shan ~

Flour cakes, Glutinous Rice & their chewy Glutinous Corn!

Cooling ice - variety Fruits flavour at the hot weather 

 

I think our local ice-cream flavours needs to revamp to include more suppliers & variety, back to earlier days when there are more suppliers instead of being monopolised by few major ones of similar flavours. This Indian mango flavoured ice is my favourite & it comes with a plastic cover accompanied to maintain its shape & use as a container for melting ice as we eat. How considerate! We almost had ice-cream daily during the trip due to the weather & I have to resist the habit generated when back to Spore.

And price range from RMB 2-5 (S$0.4-$1) depending on venue. Very affordable.
