Tea House


A couple of weeks ago Cynthia took me to a tea house. You pay a set price 50-70 RMB (6-9 bucks), pick your specific tea variety and then eat anything you want from their buffet. You can stay for hours. It is a great way to try different Chinese food items. Fruits, snack items, meats, soups, seafood, dried items, vegetables and much more. See that white thing with the black specks in it at the end of the chopsticks. It is a fruit which I would have never had the guts to buy, but I ended up liking it. I also enjoyed a white eyeball textured fruit aptly named ‘dragon eye fruit”. Ditto, on actually buying it before trying it! I still need a little hand holding to venture into deeper waters. Thanks Cynthia.
