Cold appetizers at a dinner party hosted by friend's of Di Yin's parents.  
Center: a salad Di Yin made because the family friends wanted to see how a
Western-style salad was made.  Clockwise from upper-left:  sweetened
lotus, fried fish, an unusual salad, and bbq pork.  <br/> The unusual
salad was supposedly from a type of melon a la a papaya salad, though I
originally believed it was some form of pasta salad.  I think the toppings
were strange mushrooms.  Regardless, even though I wasn't sure what this
was, I liked it.
