Yummy...




We have really enjoyed the food here so far. Eating with chopsticks has become almost natural, except to Caleb, who much prefers drumming the table with them. We've eaten out (and sometimes literally "out" on the street, like this photo that was taken at a restaurant right across the street from where we live) or gotten take-out nearly every meal here--partially because we don't have any pots and pans to cook with yet, and partially because eating out is sooooo inexpensive. It only costs 3 to 4 U.S. dollars for our entire family to eat and have leftovers at the average restaurant. Haven't had anything "weird" yet--only delicious stir-fried dishes with lots of spice and flavor. And no, it's not like Asian food in America--much more fresh and flavorful. Kung po chicken here has tongue-numbing peppercorns in it. Now that's an experience!
