Szechuan Tony

.

One of the friends here is Yang Xiang from Shanghai a.k.a. Tony and tonight he prepared a typical hot and fiery Szechuan dish with all kinds of spices and lotsa chillies in it. The spices are from China and the rest of the ingredients are local. Smells a bit like Chinese medicin actually. After slicing and cooking away he went on to prepare a "Fondue Chinoise" as we would call it. A broth where you first put in the fish, then the meat, then the prawns and finally the noodles (made from green beans !) and the veggies. And my god, it's just very spicey.......especially the oil on top makes you spew fire like a Chinese dragon. Had coffee and chocolates for afters and in general a good and enjoyable evening once again.

Instead of studying (as I was supposed to do) I just sat in the sun reading the Japan times.... what a life.

Paul is leaving for KL (Kuala Lumpur) tomorrow where I will go and visit him in three weeks time. After staying with Tony and Isaac for the weekend we will go to Penang, a peninsula of the Malaysian coast. Booked a "Deluxe Suite" in the Eastern & Oriental Hotel in Georgetown for three nights to unwind and enjoy the "Butler service"... yes folks we have our own butler who takes care of your every whim and want.
Guess what....... I'm in dire need for an oversized bathroom once again.
