[This is my Trail] Not quite the Panda Express...

[Rachelle]

So, I'm always trying to think of things in China that I take for granted, but you, faithful reader of my blog, would find interesting, shocking, or totally disgusting.

Today I bring you the "menu" of a local restaurant. I posted the room service menu a couple of weeks ago, but this is a very different type of menu. At many restaurants here, there is no real menu...just veggies, meats, and whatever they have that day sitting out (or in a refrigerated cooler, if you're lucky) for you to choose. It actually works quite well for those who don't speak Chinese. We all love the "point and hope for the best" method. This restaurant had a pretty big selection. I couldn't even get it all in the picture.

I'm also including a picture of the kitchen at the same restaurant, which is in Wuding, a small town where we usually eat on the way back from our trips to the countryside (we rotate between a couple of different restaurants there). I love that you go into the kitchen to order.

Would this restaurant pass health inspection in the US? Probably not...but the food still tastes pretty good! :)
