A Tour de Food

Yesterday, we (all 89 of us!) went to a traditional Chinese restaurant. We were all exhausted from the night before, but we woke up pretty quickly when we got off the bus to go into the restaurant. Looming above us was the Pearl Tower, the third-tallest building in the world. It's a really interesting structure because of the tripod base and the "Space Needle" at the top, but especially because of the lights at night.

(The whole area is amazing to see at night).

The restaurant seated us in a room with massive windows overlooking the water, which provided a great view of the skyline and river. But that was not the main attraction of this trip ...

The food was very interesting, to say the least. Yes, I tried everything (except the duck tongue), and most of it tasted good. Here's the rundown:

Duck (whole)

Deep-Fried Breaded Octopus

Jellyfish

Mushrooms

Baked Octopus

Duck Tongue

Tripe

Whole Chicken

And when a whole chicken comes out, you know that means someone has to mess with the head ...
