It's Happy Belly Time!

After our experiences abroad, we are tired of re-inventing the "what to order or eat" wheel in China. Tired of being unable to eat at that cool looking hole in the wall mom n pop joint because they don't have picture menus? Tired of asking the waitress for her recommendation and being sad that you get pig's brains instead? Then you've come to the right place. Just jot down the most appealing dishes to you, take them to your local fine eating establishment, and finally relax and enjoy a 好吃 (hao3 chi1) meal.
