Bugs and Bunnies...

I remember when I was in Yunnan last year there were all these little insects on display in the restaurants. Just the thought of eating those things already made me shiver...I had no idea that I HAD to eat them almost one year later:

This restaurant is one of the few in Shanghai where you can have authentic Yunnan insect dishes... Co-host Steven taking his first bite of grasshopper...

Yum.............................. The next restaurant we went to was specialized in preparing BUNNY meat.... Weeeeeeh!!! I pretended to take a bite, but beforehand I put some of the parsley garnishing in my mouth first so it looked like I was really chewing on the bunny meat...

Could you eat it if you had this at home? After the bunny head it was time for fish head and frog: When you live in the midst of the hustle and bustle of the city, it's nice to go somewhere where you can just relax and enjoy the calm surroundings. In another episode we visited a tea house hidden in Pudong.

These figurines are called tea pets.

This is the view from the tea house Have a great Chinese New Year celebration and I hope I can blog about some tastier foods next time!
