My kingdom for a hoagie.

It's getting colder over here in China, not Canada cold, but chilly if your apartment has no heating devices besides blankets and a small wall heater in the bathroom.

Pygmy and I plan on having a Chinese Xmas by going for a short holiday to Hangzhou, and have Christmas dinner at Louwailou, one of the most famous restaurants in China. They're known China-wide for their Beggar's Chicken and Dongpu Pork.

The low-down on Beggar's Chicken -

SPOILERS! (Click to view)


Later, Louwailou absorbs this cooking experience and makes some improvement. They takes "Yue Chicken", Shaoxing's Wine and the lotus leaf in West Lake as the material. First, they kill a fresh "Yue Chicken" and clean it, add all kinds of spices, stuff condiment in chicken's stomach, then bind it with West Lake lotus leaf, wrap it with a kind of mixture made by Shaoxing wine, salt water and mud from wine jar, finally bake it in steady fire for three to four hours. The mud pile is opened in front of guests. Because the chicken is cooked in a sealed envelope, the original taste is perfectly kept, and with the flavor of wine penetrating into chicken, you will feel a fragrance coming when opening the mud. Thus this dish is full of not only nutrition but also sentiment. That's why when tourists come to Hangzhou, they all want to taste this traditional and famous dish.




We'll enjoy scenic West Lake (one of the wonders of China) as well as checking out the Chinese Traditional Medicine Museum.

Upcoming trips include flying up to Harbin next month to enjoy the hoarfrost, blini, and Ice Festival, and possibly going to Moganshan for Chinese New Years, although we're still not decided. After hearing about half a million people being trapped last year during the holiday in the Guangzhou bus station (I'm seriously not making that up) we'd prefer to be somewhere a little more remote.
