One Child Policy Homeschool

• July 5, 2008 - Our Fourth of July Meal

Posted in Living in China
For Independence Day dinner, we went to a fancy restaurant. No hot dogs and hamburgers for us! We celebrated Chinese style!

I really wanted some chicken soup, so I asked the waitress what they had. She offered a bitter melon chicken soup and another chicken soup with a vegetable I had not heard of. I chose the mystery soup, and this is what I got!
 

Chicken soup with flowers

Notice the green hue? That's because the vegetable is flower buds! I think they are lily buds! They were quite tasty!

The highlight of the meal was the Beijing duck! This is one of Sprite's favorite dishes. It's quite dramatic.

A waiter comes out with the duck on a cart and carves it right in front of you.

Sprite can't wait to dig in! The duck meat is served with a sweet sauce, sliced cucumbers, sliced scallions, and a tortilla-like wrapper.

No liberty for the duck! But horray for the Red, White, and Blue!

I love Peking Duck - guess it is Beijing Duck there now :) We haven't found a restaurant here that makes it. We did have some when we were in China.

Your soup looked really interesting. Happy Independence Day!

p.s. Hope you don't mind I copied your WP books on LibraryThing. :)

In England they call this 'Crispy duck pancakes'. (Very original huh?) I bought two 'kits' of this and it was the first meal I fed Dh when he got home from hospital. A BIG improvement on hospital food! LOL!

Wow! Those are huge serving sizes! It all LOOKS good, but I think I'll stick with hamburgers.

What a yummy looking dish and a nice looking restaurant.

Your search for an apartment is quite interesting. Things in the states are so much different.
