Eggs come in many flavors and colors in China, including rotten, and always non refrigerated. Yum!

Think black corn was cool? Try corn on the cob ice cream… all the rage in China during those warm summer months…

Hot Pot isn’t authentic until fresh duck’s blood is pored into the broth… right?  Gotta love Hai Di Lao.

“Rome’s Pizzeria Italiana” – serving nothing but… Chinese food that looks nothing like pizza besides the fact the dishes look circular. Pizza in China; not the same as pizza everywhere else.

The local supermarket  - where items like flummery, puffed food, mi congealed, and aquatic products all get their own sections.

This is one magical soup – helps insomnia, irritability, soft knee lumbar acid (?), relieves coughing and shortness of breath, and of course, acts as an aphrodisiac. Who comes up with these health benefits anyway?

Happy shot in the butt!  I don’t know why anyone would give this cake to someone else.  ”Congrats, you’ve been vaccinated!”

Black corn, yummm!

You can safely assume your produce has been thoroughly washed when the guy inside the supermarket selling them is smoking a cigarette; his job must have been completed.
