Last night I went to this family dinner, but it was not like the usual ones. There weren't 10 tables full of family members and friends, nope. It was 1 unique table with my grandpa's generation. I was going to say that I was the youngest, but fortunately, I wasn't. There was this tiny girl with 10 years old barely and I was amused to know that she's taking classes at the same place I did when I was her age. It is so nice to know that this place still has its doors open. =)Anyway, I'm here to talk about the tastings of that evening. It was Chinese food!
So, I couldn't take any pictures, sorry for that, but if I describe the menu, there was no Chop suey, nor Chow mein, nor little egg rolls.
For the entrée there was this soup with Chinese zucchini in it, and then a dish with a selection of algae, cow meat, fried calamari and roasted pork, very popular in big dinners. After that, came a dish full of jumbo shrimps, tofu with calamari, spinach, pork, chicken, a delicious fish and of course: RICE.
Anyway, all of these dishes are served in a round table with a round thingie up on it, right in the middle (I'll have to search its real name later, this is embarrassing =.=) and its purpose is to aid the sitting people in the process of serving their own food, in a way which you don't have to "pass" any plates, just roll the thingie and voilá!, there is your desired dish. I find this very useful, at least for the Chinese gastronomy, as it is in their culture to share several types of dishes, unlike most of the western's, where everyone has their own plate with certain amount of food in it.This is all for now. I have to head to my Japanese class, or I'll be running late x_x
Eat healthy. See ya next time!
