New tastebuds in Haikou








Those 窝窝头really surprised me! When it first came in the woven tray, i thot

'whoa, these coffee-looking buns are actually so-so, i wonder why it was so costly on the menu...'


Until one of my colleague lifted one up and turn it upside down then i realised that it has a dip on the underside!!!! WOW. and that little dip, like a dimple on our faces, was meant for us to put our fillings inside. So cute!!!! I started immediately taking photos like some mountain turtle from kusu island. The diners must be thinking i must be real damn suaku.

Actually not only those buns caught my attention, there were those huge claypots outside the restaurant which caught my eye as well! First thot was they were mere decorations like big vases in china. Until the chef opened the lid and used a metal hook and hooked out another mininature claypot out like a rabbit pulled out from a magician's hat! WAA!

Then our colleague explained to us that those individual pots were designed to boil and keep their famous claypot soups hot. And they only boil a few pots a day, once they are sold they are gone for that day.


And wj thot it was keeping vinegar!!! MUAHAHAHA ...now who is the mountain turtle man!

okie, so much for foodie in 海口 folks! Next time i shall try their famous 文昌鸡 and tell u all about it! Hopefully i get to go to 海南岛 again soon!



ps: they even sell packed WenChang chicken in the airport! But wj and i thot we rather eat the fresh ones first.
