Tonight was an interesting dinner. Most of the classmates got together to hangout in Chinatown - this is a 'modern' one, located in a different town. If I didn't know it was Chinatown, I would have thought it a regular part of town with a few Chinese stores. It was all spread out and we actually had to drive to different areas.
Anyway, one of the classmates works in a Chinese restaurant and we've been wanting to try authentic Chinese food. Guess I'm willing to try almost anything once. We just picked a bunch of dishes that were recommended by our classmate. He did a pretty good job... one of the entree's was duck tongues - literally, with basil, black pepper and veggies. It was good. There were other duck tongue dishes but supposedly the tongues stink really bad and kinda ruins your appetite - basil reduces the smell so we went with that one.
I should have taken a picture for you for the proper visual. (hehehe) Oh and kinda raw chicken. It's called the House chicken special. It looks raw - the meaty part is real pale, the skin is on and looks raw as with the bones - the marrow is bright red. It really is cooked but on real low heat for a short period of time, air dried (I think) for a bit and returned to the low heat. Honestly, I had a hard time trying that one.
