Eighth day in China

Breakfast today is CongYouBing and milk :) CongYouBing is a sort of pancake in the western sense. But it's savory, made of 'cong' (spring onion) and some Chinese pickles, so it tastes a bit hot :) very nice! It's pan-fried, hence the word 'you' (oil) but mom watched them cook it so she can tell them NOT to put too much oil in it :) Chinese tend to like strong taste as compare to the west. Oil, salts, seasoning is the core, of course we do discover a lot of food that westerners never even think about eating heh. Anyway I should eat less oil and less salt, it wouldn't help my swelling if I take too much salt. But compare to other relatives of ours here, mom's cooking is considered 'plain' whereas their cooking, oh my god, I can see the oil floating on the dish :-/ eeeeewwww.....

It's raining outside today, I shall have my breakfast and wait for it to stop, so that me and mom can go back to that GuanYin temple and pay our respect with incense and candles. Poor hubby has flu, will ask GuanYin to look after him! Pray that he'll recover faster before I return....one more week to go...

More updates later!
