Day 3

8 oz. Sirloin Steak, top cut, mashed potatoes & thinly sliced fried onions

Umm....Cult Icon...can i have a #3 with a side of butter

I had this today for "Winter solstice", a more important festival than Chinese New Year

Gluten rice balls (With peanut and black sesame paste for stuffing)

Inside

Peanut

Black sesame

I ate Cobra whilst on my travels. Not the most festive meal to tell you about this time of year but thought i'd tell you nonetheless It was pretty chewy to say the least

Did you try braised snake soup?

No, I believe we just tried the heart and drank the blood...Well thats what they told us

Adriana: I have to say that meal 3 was the best The filet mignon was not seasoned as well as the sirloin I had :-D

Lyon, don't the Chinese eat snake? I remember seeing a snake restaurant when I was in Taipei.

Not all, it's popular here but most of us don't eat it

^Forgive me, sagitario - I've only just seen your reply! I went to Albufeira, and the cork forests around the area, and to Lisbon. If only you spoke spanish I'd move there!!!

oh no problem Albufeira, I usually go there on holiday in the summer. I hope you enjoyed oh I do not speak Spanish but also is not difficult to learn certain words are very similar to Portuguese.

Cant say i wouldn't mind trying that one day, epic eats...and no gemstones Baron

You just reminded me, the last time in Korea, I passed by a restaurant,

there're some posters with dogs on, distributing some stinky smells.... @_@

^I did enjoy it very much. And I found Lisbon a very attractive place in terms of 'livability'! Sure, portuguese is easy enough for me to read, and we can understand Brasilians OK, but I found your accents (and the speed in which you talked) much more difficult...

Oh glad that you liked LOL one of my problems sometimes to understand the Spanish is the speed at which they speak I always have the feeling that they speak so fast and they think the same of us it's all a matter of habit, with practice we go there.
