This is definitely my scene. I’d spend days here and try everything. Feel better, MM. Bad timing, this flu. Lots of spicy soups.

Monty, no, I haven’t been in the habit of getting flu shots, I don’t seem to get it too often, but the combination of cold weather and high adrenaline/activity on China (shopping trip for restaurants at the tail end), horrible allergies including to our lovely dog who has taken to sleeping beside my side of the bed due to the horribly hot conditions lately and exposure to a virus means I have been sidelined. I don’t like vaccines and medicine, and often try to get over things naturally…. but I have to say, for this bout, it’s maximum strength Zithromax for 3 days. But thanks for the heads up, maybe I will get one next year.

MM, hope you get well soon. Do you get flu shots yearly? If you do, make sure you get the quadrivalent kind, the one that offers protection from 4 virus strains rather than the usual 3.

emsy, I agree, the plethora of choices is utterly amazing. The soup you refer to was one of our highlights, post in the next few days… Betchay, that like was for the lamb sandwich. It was delicious, but not sure it was worth the 20 minute wait when there were others nearby with a much shorter line. :) Monty, oddly, I was actually asked to cook at that event, but travel schedules didn’t work out, and besides, I am currently nursing one of the worst flus in recent memory. :( ami, yes, the food, the set up, the props and displays, were all stunning. EJ, yup, the kiwi was hijacked. Khew, I wanted an excuse to buy lots of the stewed fruit, but we were headed to another city and had limited luggage allowance so I just enjoyed it for a minute or two and moved on. Footloose, I had a dried persimmon precisely for you, and didn’t regret it one bit. ConnieC, we wondered the same thing about the seafood as well…

since coming to work in mainland China, it’s been such an eye opener to eat “Chinese food” that goes beyond roasted duck, char siu, and what I now refer to as “Hong Kong food.” It’s good, but I think the flavors, textures, and aromas from mainland cuisine are more varied and complex. I hope you had the stone bread soup and liked it!

The World Street Food Congress is happening this week I think somewhere in BGC. There should be interesting dishes to be offered.

What caught my attention were the beautiful blue and white plates and bowls that they use.
