The feast made by my dear mom
The chocolate birthday cake my sis ordered…vegetarian for sure.
The special restaurant located in Yangminshan
The statue in its front yard
Very cold ( around 8 degrees C ), hot tea served first
At a corner of the restaurant
They say it is healthier to have fruit before the main course
The soup with some Chinese herbs inside
Tofu in a row with 4 different sauces
Still tofu in a plate ( Doesn’t it look like an art work? )
Some vegetables in a little jar ( one is called Guomao, usually seen in the mountains )
Mushrooms with Shanyao, which looks like carrots
Vegetables including asparagus and red peppers
My main course—the ‘steak’ was made of one kind of mushroom
My friend’s main course—the steak was made of another kind of mushroom, which cost more
The waiter would like us to notice this little slice—the most expensive ingredient called truffe
Two little cups of vinegar, which is made from fruit, sweeter than that used in cooking
Red rice ball with some seaweed
Playing with some decoration in the dish…the waiter kept telling us not to eat them -_-
The fruit in the middle is decoration too…only the left one was eatable
Soup again…with Chinese red dates inside
This is called “Buddha jumping out of the wall”, which means the dish is so delicious that monks cannot even stay in the temple…must jump out to eat
Sweet soup made of purple rice as our snack
The calligraphy hung over the counter
Outside the restaurant
In front of a cottage, very beautiful scenery in Yangminshan!
