Food, glorious food
By writing about yet more glorious food, I am at severe risk of having damage done to me when I get back home to the UK. My darling Abigail is at home looking after our two delightful yet often.... shall we say "energetic" children.
Meanwhile I am here filling my face on yet more sensational food. Today's delights included lunch in a homestyle Cantonese place close to the office. Fish in "brown sauce" (no idea what's in the sauce but trust me it wasn't HP) - again the fish was merrily flapping around until minutes before it hit my digestive system. Lions' Heads (that's minced pork meat balls to you and me) in a rich soy sauce with crunchy fresh pak choi.
Dinner - a feast at the Guyi Hunan restaurant. Hunan is my new favourite cuisine. Spicy amazing new flavours and textures - frogs legs with coriander and hot red chilis, spare ribs with tons of cumin and garlic, thick chilli noodles and an enormous fish head which had more meat on it than you would ever guess and fresh green chilli all over the place. Did I mention that they use chilis in Hunan cooking? No I didn't eat all this by myself. Tony, Michael and Jessica from the office were lookng after me tonight. They are the perfect hosts and great fun to be with. I am sure I will enjoy working here in Shanghai with them.
When I speak to my beautiful, understanding, caring, compassionate and generally delightful wife tonight, I will justify this gourmet living in the name of market research for when she comes to Shanghai with me in August.
Work tomorrow. Bed now.
