The view of the city more than made up for the awful dinner I suffered through earlier in the night. I had an interesting run in with local delicacies at a Yunan restaurant.
Worms, crickets or bees, anyone???
Being a vegetarian, I went the safe route: a little bowl of white rice with some soy sauce.
This didn't exactly fill me up, but I couldn't eat my entree. I quickly learned never to order beancurd (aka stinky tofu) here in Shanghai! It really does stink like a gym sock, and tastes just as bad! I couldn't believe my bad luck at ordering food AGAIN! (My first run in with bad Chinese food was "Hot and Sour Seafood Soup" which I nicknamed "Dead Body Soup" because it smelled and tasted ATROCIOUS!)
Oh well.. You live and you learn (to cook at home!).
Have a blessed day everyone!
