I try to buy a little as possible because carrying things around while traveling is a pain.<BR/><BR/>The good Chinese food at home is actually quite comparable to the Chinese food in China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. However I'd say the high end Dim Sum in Hong Kong is better but not worth the high price.<BR/><BR/>I'd say my favorite pot sticker place back home (Supreme Dragon in Rowland Heights) is just as greasy and dirty as the ones in Shanghai, and thus, just as yummy! ;)<BR/><BR/>Things are cheaper in China, you can find a lot more good bao places easily. But there's plenty of good authentic places back home. Patty you should know since I find out good places to eat from you!<BR/><BR/>BTW, I blogged about Taiwan early in my trip. On the left hand column of the blog click the Taiwan label to see my Taiwan posts. Taiwan was so much fun! I look forward to going back. I had to miss out on Ali San and Green Island due to typhoons. I also want to scuba at Kenting now that I can dive.Vincehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02358784564667261353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5823934244750144796.post-81036819110541844002008-12-09T13:55:00.000-08:002008-12-09T13:55:00.000-08:00omg.. im soOOO jealous of the food. the pork feet...omg.. im soOOO jealous of the food. the pork feet has good collagen which is good since you are walking a lot. <BR/><BR/>did you get a silk comforter? those are good stuff, totally rivals my down.<BR/><BR/>how does the pot stickers there compare to your favorite place here? <BR/><BR/>did you try any hand made noodles?? <BR/><BR/>how can you NOT drink the yogurt milk drink?<BR/><BR/>BTW... did you skip over taiwan?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5823934244750144796.post-71941307857950192792008-12-08T11:53:00.000-08:002008-12-08T11:53:00.000-08:00Gross dude, did you eat the Nanjing Tang Bao?

My understanding is that Ramen means something like hand pulled noodles which is what La Mien means. I think it's a direct translation. I think these days though, Japan and China have many different variations on La Mien/Ramen.Vincehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02358784564667261353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5823934244750144796.post-77409647994792497072008-12-08T08:57:00.000-08:002008-12-08T08:57:00.000-08:00I like those yogurt milk things!

Is that like "ramen"? I wonder if the Japanese got that from China!Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15702721811960368944noreply@blogger.com
