This is a place to share Your experience about restaurant/bar/etc. visits. (Quite metalish again.
)
Yesterday I was in a nice Asian restaurant with a Taiwanese friend, and two Hungarian friends who lived in Taiwan for long years. I say Asian because the restaurant seemed to be Japanese from the outside, but inside it was typical Chinese – my friends told me so.
When we took our seats, they brought us immediately a pot of hot, fresh Jasmine tea with four small cups. Mmmh... We’ve been wondering why the cups are so small, and finally one of us has found out: to keep the tea hot for as long as possible.
The menu was written in Chinese, Hungarian (even English maybe...?) and Japanese. I asked the help of my friends about what to order, and they recommended a rich soup called ramen. It looked more or less like this:
And it was delicious!
We had rice with vegetables and little pieces of meat, that was great too, and something I don’t remember how was called...
It was a smaller cup of soup, with meat and ginger wrapped in dough, cooked in the soup. Aah, ginger...
For ”dessert” we had two spring rolls filled with vegetables, seasoned with soya sauce, which we shared fraternally and sisternally.
I learned a lot of things about sophisticated Chinese table language: for example if You would like to give a sign to the waiter that the tea pot is empty and You would like to have another one, You just put the cover on the bias back to the top of the pot. They really noticed that, and refilled our pot. That was nice.
