| A panoramic movie of the large restaurant where we ate lunch. Play it
with sound to hear the activity.
| What we ordered.
| Chinese green beans stir fried with garlic, chilies, and black beans.
Decent, but would've been better if it were served hotter.
| Roasted pork buns. Quite good. Sweeter and juicier than usual, and with
more of an earthy flavor.
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Shrimp and vegetable dumpling. It's neat how translucent they are.
Decent (accounting for the overly sticky wrapper).
| Fried pork a la fried chicken. Good when hot. The crunchy fried skin
really resembled good fried chicken. We were told to eat each piece in
one bite: skin, meat, fat, and all.
| Beef meatballs. Decent. I appreciated how they ground cilantro into the
meat.
| Steamed pork ribs. Fairly good. We were told it's good because they
brine the meat before flavoring and frying it.
|
|
|
|
| Stir fried green vegetable. Fine.
| Fried tofu. Thin skin. We all didn't like the soft, spongy interior.
Neither sauce helped. We left this mostly uneaten.

| Dinner at Jade Restaurant in Shenzhen Airport
|
|
|
| Garlic shredded pork with Sichuan chicken over rice. Boy that pork was
peppery! It made me sweat and my nose run. The fried chicken was
alright, and a happy relief from the pork (though I preferred the pork).
| The menu entry for my dish: yu2 xiang1 rou4 si1 (which together translates
to "sweet and spicy shredded pork / shredded pork with fish barbecue
sauce") pin1 (joined with) chuan1 (Sichuan-style) xiang1 (tasty) ji1
(chicken) qiu2 (balls).

| Shop in Shenzhen Airport
|
|
| Cute chocolates at Havana, a cigar and chocolate shop. An
excellent, pretty picture. The chocolates are imported from
Bolivia. Skipping the truffles (though they were pretty), I bought a few
of the unusual fruity chocolates at top: things like soft chocolate in an
apple-flavored shell.
