Qingdao: Our Neighborhood Restaurant

The restaurant’s name is Cheng(2)du(1) Mei(3)shi(2), which means “Delicious Food of Chengdu”.

The following is a photo journal of the local restaurant Denny and I have dined at many chilly nights after work.

This is what it looks like to eat at an authentic Chinese restaurant. Below is a picture of bao(1)zi [steamed stuffed (meat and/or vegetables) buns].

 

Behind the scenes in the kitchen a father and son prepare our food.

The Chinese are really good at the kitchen knife. Ta(1) zai(4) qie(1) cai(4) (He is cutting vegetables).

Denny loves his spicy soup.

Bless this woman. She is so patient with Denny and I when we order food or try to practice our Mandarin. (Notice the eye sight sign on the left side of the picture. It makes me smile.)

The Chinese restaurants in China look a little different than the ones Americans are accustomed to in the United States.
