Xiao Ying, the son, fetched us to New Plum for dinner. It was 7 in the evening, and the crowd was the going home traffic...mad traffic worse than KL!
This is the situation described by Jackson, the tour guide: If you want to cross the road, just walk without stopping. Cars and other traffic will avoid you, not you dodge them!
Look at the green arrows..where are they pointing?
This bicycle is passing right in front of the car dashboard!
After a harrowing ride, we reached the restaurant: another surprise is in store for us!
This is only a restaurant in a small town, Shantou, not a big city like Guangzhou
To think that in KL, we only managed to being them to Tmn Midah Restaurants and Pik Wah at MABA House!
This is the front and downstairs..the dining areas are upstairs.
We were shocked to see the sheer array of food displayed and laid out elaborately...
Pots and pots and cauldrons and cauldrons of bubbling broth and goodness knows what edibles, with so many chefs in attendance
goose and goose parts seem to be very popular
Reminds you of Hansel and Gretel's evil witch's pots of brew at best, and at worst, Macbeth's 3 witches!
These chefs (and all the other chefs) always look away nonchanlantly when I shoot them! ha ha ha!
Have you ever seen so much food cooking?
Have you ever seen so many cooks at any one time?
The rest of the party has gone upstairs
Come and look! Giant Shark fin...he has only seen shark fins in the bowl of soup not on the fin and displayed in cabinets.
Imagine some sharks swiiming around finless, if they survivied after being hacked and thrown back that is.
Award winning fins! Never mind that it ought to belong to the back of the shark.
Dried sea horses, like what I find in my dad's medicine shop.
eeks! intestines and kiam chye!
eerr, I dunno what
A stunning array
chicken displayed thus, not hung
China version of foie gras
Goose wings, webbed feet, and other parts
when I took this dough old man, I got chased off!
Pu Ker Yee Pai Chow!
heh hehe heh, but not for long, I soon whipped out my camera and and continued snapping!
???
these are desserts
eels
now getting to be like the fish section of Tesco or Giant
first time I have seen bloodied, freshly plucked out fish bladder
so much fish, so fresh, u think they are selling fish!
elephant trunk shellfish
weird looking crustacean
if not for the fins and gaping mouth this fish would have morphed into a rock
tiger prawns that looked like????words fail me
what you want to eat? I dunno, I am spoilt for choice.
Veg section.
Just get me something edible, Ying.
Every restaurant has these girl receptionists dressed in gowns.
All the above is only the prelude to dinner!
Wait till you see what we have for dinner!!!!!

Wow! Its crazy!
I will always remember seeing the raw shark fin in the Taman Midah kitchen sink... i was very young. Kong kong made homemade shark fin soup. Maybe K doesnt remember, probably too young, i'm sure he was with me.
And i remember seeing the bag of seahorses in the BP shop fridge
