A snack I snagged on the trip was from McDonald's, strangely enough. The McDonald's are all McCafes with with counters where you order specialty coffees and desserts. This one was a square of white cake wrapped in a soft chocolate layer and rolled in coconut. Yum!
One of the nights we ventured out, we went to a restaurant called Tai Wan. We ordered beer and it came out looking like a spit of champagne.
The beer was excellent - it's very light and has a minimal amount of carbonation. I got the "steamed vegetables and mushrooms in a nutritious sauce" with rice. Whatever nutritious sauce means, it's tasty. It was a savory sauce and the mushrooms were tender and flavorful.
Another place we tried was a traditional Chinese hot pot place. Kelly and I both opted for the vegetables with noodles, along with a side order of Chinese-style pancakes. Again, excellent choices. The noodle dish featured thick, wide pasta-style noodles along with glass noodles and assorted vegetables and mushrooms in a hot broth. It was hard to eat with chopsticks, but we managed. The pancakes were great. It was just a bit of fried dough with salt, but the end result was flaky on the outside and chewy on the inside. It was a combination appetizer/dessert, even though it was savory instead of sweet.

All those choices look delicious! I think sometimes I was born on the wrong continent because ramen or pho are truly my comfort foods. :)
