Dinner at the Sheung Wan Cooked Food Center

Tuesday, Dec. 09 - Mother's First Night in Town

Three women consumed the following:
2 heaping bowls of rice
A 22 oz bottle of beer (90% me, 10% Mom)
8 chicken feet
A fish baked in salt
A pot of fried tofu further stewed with vegetables in a thick sauce
A plate of 'gai lan' stir fried with ginger pieces

A small amount of each was carried home in a tupperware for grandma, who was recovering from a stomach bug. This practice is absolutely ok in the kind of establishment we were in.

Chicken Feet - Slow Cooked with Soy Sauce
Tender and succulent. Green vegetable - the one called 'gai lan' sauteed with ginger pieces
Fish Baked in Salt 
Served with sauce of salted fermented soy beans, kind of like natto (Japanese), but more fluid and less sticky.
The meat was delicious, and overall not too salty. The salt was caked on the skin, which was thick and leathery.
The head did not have a lot of meat in it.
