I'd rather have it in my cheeks than in my belly. Tons of stuff here is fried (which has a different word from stir-fried in Chinese, possibly only because it's cooking with a wok instead of a pan). I think that's why Chinese people drink so much tea. Fried food is considered yang, and tea is yin, so they balance out. Otherwise, one would get sick.

Otherwise, I'd bring you back some calamari flan. :D Unfortunately, I can’t bring any food back, especially since I’m going through US customs, who are much more strict than any other country I’ve been to.

Bee Cheng Hiang makes the BEST crunchy sweet cured meats like that little square you had. I about did a handstand the first time our "Uncle" brought us some from HK. Lok Bok Go (the daikon cake)is like my Asian equivalent of mashed potatoes - classic comfort food. I totally miss the good kind. And the FRENCH TOAST!!!EEE!!. Love it. The places that do it right even put a wee bit of peanut butter in the middle of the slices, it's sooooo good. You are SO lucky. Eat yourself silly while you have the chance! Oh man!

Actually, I'm surprised at the variety of fried foods that are served, like bananas!? Neat! At least we don't have to worry about you starving over there :). Come home safe! xo I was just wondering myself how much weight you must have gained! Actually, I’m surprised at the variety of fried foods that are served, like bananas!? Neat!
