Clockwise starting from 11 o'clock: Chive shoots stirfried with red peppers and pork; julienned potatoes stirfried with scallions and tomatoes; a pork-meat sauce used for the noodles in the picture below; braised eggplant; broad beans stirfried with pork.

"Knife-shaved" noodles mixed with the above dishes, minus the eggplant.

Boiled and fried chili pork ribs.

Salad of julienned deep friend tofu.

Chili beef. (I believe the beef was pan fried)

Wood-ear fungus and red onion salad.

THE best chicken soup in the world, plus yu hsiang pork which you then roll it up with some sliced scallions in the tofu skins like a spring roll.

Sweet and sour fish.

Super spicy stirfried rice noodles.

http://pic.phyrefile.com/k/ko/koenig/2009/09/08/ChinaTrip_109.jpg

Too much to name....lol I don't remember this meal a whole lot because I got really drunk. (The beer we were drinking was 9% and I had like 6 600ml bottles)

http://pic.phyrefile.com/k/ko/koenig/2009/09/08/ChinaTrip_439.jpg

Chili braised crayfish tails. Literally half the dish was chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns. You had to really dig for your food, and after 20-30 tails, your mouth would be so numb that you can't taste anything anymore, such good stuff.

Spicy and sour noodles.

http://pic.phyrefile.com/k/ko/koenig/2009/09/08/ChinaTrip_459.jpg

"Soup" noodles that I ate at home. Contained tomatoes, stirfried egg, tofu, pork, and greens.

This shit is amazing. BRING TO NORTH AMERICA PLZ!

http://pic.phyrefile.com/k/ko/koenig/2009/09/08/ChinaTrip_479.jpg

Clockwise from 11 o'clock, pig stomach stirfried with scallions; stirfried spicy cabbage; Ma Po tofu; Ma La chicken.

http://pic.phyrefile.com/k/ko/koenig/2009/09/08/ChinaTrip_480.jpg

Up close with the Ma La chicken. I can make this at home, but the flavors don't even come close to this version my aunt made.

http://pic.phyrefile.com/k/ko/koenig/2009/09/08/ChinaTrip_491.jpg

Gotta love me some Ethinicans.

Nanxiang Xiao Long Bao I had in Shanghai. These are the same ones that Anthony Bourdain had in the Shanghai episode of No Reservations. The only difference is that we had these at a different branch, but it is part of the same chain.

Chinese food FTMFW!

NOM OVERLOAD!

Koenig · September 8th, 2009, 6:09 PM

Trust me, this stuff is only about 40-50% of what I ate. A lot of the best stuff I had was on the streets and in tiny "hole-in-the-wall" restaurants. I couldn't take pics of those because lugging a huge DSLR around with me is just asking for people to rob me. God I wish I brought a point and shoot with me. Oh, and from the 3rd picture down to the sweet and sour fish was all at the restaurant owned by my mom's family. Free food FTW!

Redliner · September 8th, 2009, 6:15 PM

Oh yeah...

ninjacoco · September 9th, 2009, 12:45 AM

Oh my goodness! That bright red shellfish dish and I need to meet sometime. Preferably over dinner.

p0w3r · September 9th, 2009, 8:49 AM

mmm Shanghainese food is probably the best type of Chinese food...followed closely by hong kong/canto food

The_Finn · September 12th, 2009, 1:36 PM

Holy crap man... jesus that looks fantastic... i don't suppose you could go through and label what the dishes are because i gotta say i am dying to do some research for recipes.

Hey man, glad you like them. I went back and labeled everything I could remember so you have a general idea of what I had (some of the dishes names just don't translate to english well).

Oh, and I thought you should know this. I will be making the "pilgrimage" to Au Pied du Couchon in Montreal either next week or the week after images/smilies/mrgreen.gif

.

Will take lots of pics images/smilies/biggrin.gif
