Our first stop of the day on Tuesday, the last day of our trip, was China! It was our 12th stop of our festival journey, and it did not disappoint.
The dish we tried in China was another spicy-ish one. Like I said in a post before, a lot of the dishes had some kind of spice to them! We tried the black pepper shrimp with sichuan noodles. The shrimp was sort of a breaded shrimp (I say sort of because it wasn't like a super thick breading), and it was topped with cilantro, which we all know I hate. Luckily, the cilantro was in very big leaves, so I just picked it off my portion. And honestly though, I did have one bite of noodles with a piece of cilantro that I missed, and the other spices that were on the noodles had such a good flavor that it covered up most of the gross cilantro taste (lol, I'm so mean to cilantro! It isn't THAT bad, but it certainly isn't my fave!).
Some other super interesting dishes you could try in China were Beijing roasted duck in a steamed bun with hoisin sauce, Gaoli beef slider, and chicken pot stickers. Pot stickers are super tasty (without chicken or pork, of course) so I bet Ean would have loved those, but we decided to just try the one dish that I could actually have.
China had some really awesome looking beverages. You could either get a Tsingtao beer, Francis Ford Coppola Sue Yuen riesling, Ritzy Lychee with cognac and vodka, Happy Peach with peach liqueur and dark rum, Kung Fu Punch with vodka and triple sec, and mango jasmine tea with bubbles. I would have definitely tried either the mango jasmine tea or the Kung Fu Punch because both looked so super tasty.
We were able to snag a cocktail table while enjoying our food from China. It wasn't that busy on Tuesday afternoon, which was good. The less crowded it is, the more we can enjoy! Plus it makes it easier to divide the food between both of us when we have a table we can portion it out on.
