Yesterday, Ryan and I rang in the second day of the new year by going on our first official date to a restaurant in China. I mean, we've been to KFC, bakeries, and other little places but not an actual restaurant by ourselves. One of the best things about some of the nicer restaurants is that they have picture menus, and some even have english descriptions of the items. We found this to be true of the restaurant we visited with Megan & her family as well as UBC Coffee (the place we went yesterday). 

My favorite food title I found yesterday was, "Ridiculous amounts of Ridiculous". We didn't actually order it, but one day I think I'd like to experience the taste of ridiculous amounts of ridiculous. Hahaha. When we went to The Second Season Restaurant with Megan's family, I took home a menu for your reading enjoyment. Here are some of my favorite items on the menu (with commentary because I just can't resist on some of these):

* I like to eat chicken feet 

* Mouth crisp

* Beauty skin cold

* Beauty (i need to order this)

* Drunk Bullacta

* Bad Sam Sun (they served the good stuff last week)

* Xiang soil saliva chicken

* Incense pot vegetarian

* The temptation to head (resist the temptation)

* Soup screws

* Green peppers hatching eggs

* The chicken soup braised three silk

I hope these made you smile! We love reading the menus. All of these were copied word for word. hahaha. Anyways, our internet isn't working again, I've spent several hours trying to upload pictures, but this is all I've got. Sorry! Hopefully more will come soon.
