Hun Hao Chi!

"Delicious", literal translation: very good to eat

This was one of the first phrases we learned at Mandarin lessons... and I quickly realized that the food here is not only ubiquitous and important, but also actually... very good to eat.


Let's start with our hospital cafeteria... or shall we say our hospital cafeterias. We have at least 3 on this campus, and 2 on the other. We prefer to eat in the one that's in the first floor of the women's dorm building where we stay - fresh handmade noodles by "noodle guy," grilled veggie/tofu/meat skewers made to order by "grill guy," make your own "hot-pot" station, and lots of fresh stuff cooked every day... and it's really hard to spend more than $1 (7 yuan) on a meal. Ridiculous I know. Here's some visuals.

"Grill guy's" fantastic selection

Yum... fruity yogurt out of a bag



Highly recommended for your viewing pleasure....

More fantastic dishes we've had...

Pineapple rice at this Sezuan restaurant... the sweetness really paired well with the almost ridiculously spicy food.

Lunch with my team on gyn-onc!

Hot-Pot!

Don't worry... they are really just mushrooms of the very delicious kind

We like our hot-pot with lots of green veggies!
