Magazine or book worthy food shots...
To become truly immortal, a work of art must escape all human limits: logic and common sense will only interfere. But once these barriers are broken, it will enter the realms of childhood visions and dreams.

I'm hungry now.
Curious? If it is the year of the dog, or if it is the year of the rat, do they abstain from eating that meat?

How could I forget Hot Pot?!
This is the Chengdu, Sichuan dish famous around the world.
Basically there is a bowl of hot soup made fresh and kept warm at your table:
Our soup is split in two, one spicy (which is normal) and one tame (for the white guy).
Then you go into a room and pick our skewers of raw meat, fish and veggies. Jing did not allow me to go in this room as I would probably be grossed out by the assortment. She picked some tame things based on my requirements (Beef, Chicken, Pork, Vegetables!).
Shown here is some chicken and some potato-like lotus root (my favorite). The "beef" turned out to be beef stomach.
On the bottom right are the bins to throw in the wooden skewers. One for meat, one for veggies.
Why? That's how you are billed... at the end the clerk comes and counts the skewers.
You toss the skewers into the soup and allow them to cook. When done, pull them out and into your personal bowl of soup. Eat. Drink beer (I had to - I could not eat a lot of this stuff)...
...and when all done, you have a huge vat of soup flavored by everything cooked in it. Traditionally you down a bowl or two of this ultra-tasty broth to top off the meal.

More great photos Matt! Vs the American dollar (I know that's not saying much nowadays) how pricey was it to eat while there? It looks like you visited pretty fancy eateries...that we'd pay upwards of $ 20 a plate here.

mmmm 
We have some Chinese friends here in Buffalo who have hosted a hot pot for us. I think its pronounced in Mandarin "huua-guua" or something like that. It's quite an experience!
