Bon Appetit!

In Mongolia, we went to a Chinese restaurant one night to socialize a bit with some English teachers in Darkhan. We ordered some Mongolian beer (which, in my experience, is the best beer in Asia) before referring to the menu to see what strange food we would be eating. It was nice being in a Chinese restaurant in Mongolia....just about everyone in our group needed a break from mutton. Furthermore, it was nice to see a trilingual menu--representing Chinese, Mongolian, and English. Take a look...what would you order?



In the end, we ordered a dish with chicken (we wanted to indulge because every other restaurant in town had banished the chicken because of the bird flu), a couple dishes of fish (not smart, considering Mongolia is a land-locked country), and the-always-comforting, can't-go-wrong white rice. In other words, we started off with a tantalizing sample of the temple explodes the chicken cube, followed by a heaping helping of fuck to burn the fish, rounded out nicely with the delectable the water boils the fish.

I thought the fuck to burn the fish was the worst fuck to burn the fish I had ever had...it was tasteless and, frankly, in need of a bit more burning. The temple explodes the chicken cube was pretty decent...I would recommend that to just about anyone; Ask for it at your local Chinese restaurant. Now, the water boils the fish was very good. So good, in fact, that I tried to get the recipe from the waitress, but had no luck. I am curious how they prepared it.
