GUANGZHOU SPECIAL!

No I wasn't there, but Meow was. Promised her i will post up some pics to share. So Meow, please provide a commentary if you wish, cos my information agar-agar only from what i remembered over tiramisu and latte. Btw, Meow took these pics with her tok-kong handphone camera, so clear right? Can ZOOM somemore.

This is a Kar-na ji (some nuts) before carving
After

These are how small they actually are. These Chinese people can make carvings out of anything...grain lah, hair lah!

Some Chinese delicacies that Meow dared not try! First the HORSESHOE CRAB OR KING CRAB (Meow was arguing with me the name, it turned out both were right) Don't they look like 'xiao chiang' (ka-chua) overturned? I don't blame her for not eating.

And than this is called the SAND WORM! Apparently called sand worm because inside filled with sand. They cook it by chopping off the head and tail and using a chop stick to push out all the sand and fried.......suppose to be very yummy.........(yeeeee! )

Never knew the horseshoe crab can be eaten. Thought it was used only as TCM for certain skin complaints or something like that. But then I forgot that the Chinese eat everything! Nothing goes to waste.

Anyway, congrats on surviving 13-hour workshop.....
