Dragon Tales: A Loop Round China with Sarah

On our first morning in China our information, Ping, took us to an area market in Yangshuo for a breakfast of steamed buns and heat soy milk. This set a precedent for the remainder of the journey for a handful of us, and in every new metropolis, the primary process was at all times to scope out the most effective steamed bun spots and check out completely different fillings from meat to candy sesame or noodles and greens. Making an attempt completely different cuisines is considered one of my favorite issues about travelling.

China is the right nation for having fun with family-style meals, and I used to be fortunate to be a part of a bunch who have been blissful to share quite a lot of dishes beneficial by our guides. We’d incessantly be sat round a desk, serving to ourselves to the quite a few dishes rotating on the ‘Lazy Susan’. It’s unimaginable to choose a favorite, however some highlights embrace the rice noodles in Yangshuo and Xi’an, the Sichuan Scorching Pot in Chengdu (not as spicey as we feared!), and the number of greens throughout the nation, particularly the fried aubergine. Oh, and the dumplings!
