Shenzhen, China: Night 1

Just a short walk from our hotel is a street with so many little restaurants, some pharmacies, bakery, florist etc.

We started our evening walk at 6.30pm and found ourselves walking into a pharmacy where mum bought herself a pair of red reflexology sandals @ RMB65.

Soon, it was time to eat. Looking for a little street shop selling dishes with rice in our area here proved to be a little bit of challenge as most were selling noodles.

Nonetheless, we did manage to squeeze ourselves into 1 shop to sit down for dinner. While looking through their menu, the staff there brought us our plates, cups and bowls: each sanitised and wrapped with plastic. And they say that it's dirty in China!

We ordered pork leg, pork belly, green vege and pork soup. The food was yummy even though a bit spicy. As you can see, we did it again - ordered much more than what we could finish. At least we've learnt the portions that they serve here. All in all, the total bill came up to RMB80.


As we were sitting in the shop relaxing our full bellies, we watched this young male staff packing food for take-away orders. The container used is designed very well: the bottom part holding the food is a bowl, while the top which forms the lid can be a plate.


Before we left the shop, dad bought himself a big bottle of Chinese beer. Price RMB4: cheap!


Buying some duck organs for snacking @ the hotel.


My source of fibre: huge bananas!
