One of the fun things I enjoy when being the only western guy at the table is the weird food I am offered to eat. I do try everything, sometimes more than once just in case it tastes different when prepared a different way.
Like these cocoons called 茧蛹
Which was not my first time but my third. I still don't like them. You don't eat the shell, just guts which has the texture of scrambled eggs but the taste is quite bitter.
This was a sweet dish. Made from sugar syrup like honey, maybe it was honey. They drizzle from up high above the dish and as it falls it becomes crystals and hardens into a picture perfect dish. It was good. Fun to watch it fall in to place.
And of course the druken guy who is either yelling I'm a great friend or he's pissed about something. lol
He's actually nice guy and pays for everyone and everything.
