Fun Food

Here's a little something to tide you over until I get around to writing a real entry....

The mango bing - shaved ice topped with fresh mangoes and sweetened condensed milk drizzled on top. A thing of beauty.

I believe this was the coffee flavored bing. Hope and I ate this quite frequently all summer. It didn't help that the store was only about 2 blocks away from our house, or that it was sooo cheap!

A meal of homemade shui jiao (boiled dumplings) at the Chens' house.

I don't even know exactly what to call this, but it's meat inside of this soft but chewy jelly-like dough? I'm not quite sure what to call it. Anyways, I thought it looked gross at first, but actually really liked it. At the bottom of the picture you can see some fish ball soup.
