This is snake wine. I think I saw two snake heads so I'm assuming there are about two snakes in this bottle of wine. The guys drank it. The girls did not. The girls kept clicking on their cameras as they squealed in disgust. The guys said it tasted like rubbing alcohol (and then proceeded to take a second shot).
Alright, now that the weirdest thing is out of the way, on to more normal looking food.----- ----- -----
A banana split. Yes, they do exist in China. Except, this only had strawberry and vanilla ice-cream, no chocolate.
Have you seen those GIANT martini glasses or those huge glasses that are usually used to make a giant size margherita to share among the table? Well, here's a giant size champagne glass and it had some fruit cocktail concoction in it. Nope, didn't try it.
This is a sticky rice "dumpling" wrapped in banana leaves.
To keep your hands from getting sticky with the glutinous rice, they provide you with these plastic gloves.
See, use glove to peel off banana leaves and your hands are sticky free!
----------Food art. Broccolli for the bushes and the tops of the trees. A tomato for a sun. Rice as the chickens' bodies. Carrots, sausage and duck made the mountains. It was so pretty, no one really touched it. Or maybe it was because the sausage tasted funny.
Here, the infamous fish dish with head attached. How would you like to eat something that kept staring back at you? Well, you get it all the time here.
According to the menu provided, the name of this dish is "Mountain of herbal scallops." Let me tell you what it really was: the fried stuff around the white mountain is fried fish -- I think; the white stuff tasted like whipped egg; and the red stuff inside the mountain is really shrimp covered in tomato sauce. Not sure how all that equaled to "herbal scallops."
Mini meat patties. It was popular at my table. All the Americans were eating it.
Can't forget dessert! This is an ice-cream sundae, which tasted as good as it looks.
