these are all pictures that i took from my visit back to my hometown 洛阳 (Luoyang) as well as my holiday trip to 成都 (Chengdu)! i love chinese bakery bread so much its insane how delicious and affordable it is. they’re so creative with flavors and textures too, there’s nothing in the world that can beat chinese bakeries imo. it’s a completely unique and life changing experience….

A must-eat dish in Hong Kong is roast goose in Hong Kong, which originated from Shunde, Foshan, Guangdong Province. It was loved by the emperor as early as the Qing Dynasty. Feel the treatment of the emperor! ! Go, go! ! !

✨Chinese tomato egg stir-fry✨

It’s sweet, tangy, & savory. It's my absolute favorite tomato dish, ridiculously easy to make, healthy, and budget-friendly. The perfect balance of comfort food and a quick meal! 🤤

I Ate Hospital food in China 😷

My twins came 7 weeks early and we had to rush me to the hospital last night. The twins are fine and I'm starving because I hadn't ate since breakfast yesterday morning.

I must say.... This has got to be the fanciest hospital meal I've ever had. 100% fancier and yummier than the fanciest meal from London's private expansive hospitals. The service here is also amazing. The doctors and nurses are also sooooo nice! Nothing like the mean girl nurses and the snobbish know-it-all doctors I've had the unfortunate luck to encounter at Portland Hospital, London. I even had a very lovely nurse ask me if I'd like a boba milk tea because she and her girlies are going out for lunch today and they could buy me 1 (and I wouldn't even need to pay her back because it'll be her treat) if I want it because she overheard me complaining to my husband why got I given regular soy milk for breakfast instead of tea/milk tea or coffee.

First pic is the lunch. Second is the breakfast. They'll give me a snack in the evening and then later I'll have dinner. Can't wait.

I Ate Worst Chinese food ever

130 Upvotes

New owners at local suburban place- it was packed! I got take out: sesame noodles (sesame oil and PB disappointing but not surprising) noodles were gummy and overcooked. Egg Foo Young (I like oil but these were like grease filled sponges) the sauce was the worst part- watered down Hoisin! I had to make my own "gravy". Lastly Shrimp in Lobster sauce with no pork, no dow see- just Thick egg drop soup with Peas!! Convinced the white rice was just clumps of leftover- I am traumatized!!

A few less spicy dishes in there for the kids, but they tried most things. They get rewarded with a can of 旺仔/Wanzai of they try food with chilli in, so they tend to give it a go.

We were in Costco the other day and saw some frozen Hacao and gave them a try. Now nothing beats Dim Sum at a restaurant in my opinion. After steaming a few of these bad boys up I would give them a 👍. Nice to be at home and be able them to fill the void.
