Quanjude Peking Duck Restaurant

When you like eating, and you get to Beijing, you try Peking Duck. How come its not Beijing duck?

Where in the world is Peking, anyway? Did you ever wonder that? I've always wondered as a child... Beijing is the capital of China... but Peking... I don't know where Peking is. But it seemed to be in Sid Meier's Civilization I (At least if my memory serves me correctly...).

Where in the world is Peking?

I guess that will be a conundrum that will be answered a bit later. For now... its Peking Duck for this post. Especially the most marketed one in Beijing, and as I understand, is owned by the government. (No wonder).

But its pretty good....



See me happy...



Have to take a pic with the Peking duck "Chef" slicer...

Alive!

The only reason I'm posting anything today is because I am currently holding the office support mobile for the week and I've been psychologically conditioned to hear ringing sounds even when nothing is ringing.

Midautumn ... politics... Nuclear Test... grandmothers' birthday... mooncakes... snowy... responsibilities... priorities... caring... parents... gym... friends.... karaoke.... marathons... growing up... loving... hating...frustrating... life... priorities.. lanzones... dedicated... creative.... sure.... certain.... stable....

So many things... so many thoughts. I'll fill them all in later. I promise.

Snowy Mooncakes

A family celebration of snowy mooncakes. This one is from Maxim's. As opposed to the traditional lotus seed paste and double egg yolk mooncakes, this type needs to be refrigerated. That's Squiggly's table... its too small for all of us, but we still opted to use that mini table.



Its like being a kid all over again! except this time, the food is real!

New Rubber Shoes (Again)

Before they get really dirty... I better take pictures of them. Gift from friends. To prevent me from killing my feet.



They're really comfortable, by the way...
