6/26/10 Dinner in Guandu

Hungry after a long meeting to debrief the Workshop and plan for Summer Camps we all went out for dinner in Guandu. We chose a small resturaunt where you place an assortment of tofu, meat, eggs and veggies in your basket and they cook it all up in a soup.

The man at the counter asked how spicy we wanted our soup by pointing to a thermometer. Several of us chose a level of spice half way up the thermometer or higher. Fast forward to 20 minutes later...we are all sweating, Zach is cooling off with a cola, Ali is chugging water and Hillary swears that her mouth is rub from the spices!

It was so HOT! Erin and Hillary got smart and began spooning the spice (bright red oil) from their soup! It was then we noticed that the restaurant was decorated with colorful flames. Zach pointed out that we must work on our skills of observation!

After dinner we walked to a tiny grocery store and bought some ice cream to cool our throats. Zach and Ali discovered that red bean ice milk (ice cream bar with sweet red beans) is pretty good!
