Chinese food

Well, it has been a while since the last post.
Today's topic. Oddly enough its something that we dont often talk about at 4PAK.

Chinese food.

I dont know whether its because most of us are Chinese and we often overlook our own culture, or whether we just dont find it interesting enough to talk about.
Either way, heres a post of a typical Hong Kong style dinner.

When you first sit down at the table, they often put a little plate of deep fried peanuts, or pickled vegetables. This small refreshment, or as the Sweds like to call it "Pre Dinner Snack", is useful for white people such as Cameron to practice their chopsticks stills.

What also comes as standard with a Cantonese meal is the soup. Soup of the day happens to be water spinach, pork bone and carrot.

Unlike eating at a Western restaurant, you dont really get to pick the soup, since 1- its doesnt come from a can, and 2 its free....now cant really complain about free food can we?

Now moving onto the main part of the meal. Because we had a white guy, and a Filipino who didnt know how to hold chopsticks, we kinda stuck to a pretty standard chinese dishes catered for white people.

Entree. Deep fried pigeon. Funny how people are more willing to eat the arse of the pigeon but not the head or the neck. Is it because of looks i wonder???

Mongolian Beef. Served on a hot sizzling plate. Again, another dish which was designed to impress white guys.

Another dish that would us asians roll our eyes. Sweet and sour pork.
Just about any white guy is guaranteed to order this dish at a chinese restaurant.

Now to balance out all the meat, one would need some vegetables in their diet. So we got a tofu pot, which was supposed to have veggies in it.
Turned out that the greens were all the way at the bottom, and there was still more meat than veg......at least the flavour was ok.

And to top off the traditional white person's chinese dinner, fried rice...
To make things a bit different, we ordered the Fujian fried rice aka Fukin Fried rice (written on the restaurant menu)

Now to wrap up this post, lets play a little game.
Cameron's new car has the following numberplate. BFA- __M.
How many 3/4 letter acronyms can you guys come up with?
I'll start off with a 3 letter one. Boy Farting Air
