Guilin

Besides the first photo show below, this was from an unnamed (since I can't remember where it was or what it was called) restaurant in Guilin, China.


In our quest to discover local cuisine, we were not afraid to step into restaurants that were a little bit on the shady side. This was a little breakfast stand that our taxi drivers recommended. Each bowl of plain noodle costs $0.25 US and you can add your own choice of ingredients. There is also a soup base that you can choose that's not shown in the photo above. I went for the pickled radishes, pickled beans, green onion and, of course, hot peppers.


These shrimps were tiny. When eating shrimps this tiny, I often weigh the efforts spent peeling against how much meat is obtained and the tastiness of the meat. In this case, too much effort for too little return.


Pickled veggies and intestines


Mushrooms, bak choy and eggplant?


Eggplant or fish? It was 3 years ago... my memory has failed me.


Fatty pork




Catfish, does it look like a pain in the ass to eat? Because it is a pain in the ass to eat.
