Gastronomical Delights!

But of course! What's an adventure without food!! Whoever told me that food here is either bland, too salty or too oily must either have over stimulated taste-buds or just didn't know where to eat. The authentic Sze Chuan food is to die for! Your lips literally die from the numbing spiciness thanks to a particular innocent looking pepper that the cuisine is loaded with).

One of my gastronomical highlights was a trip to a fish market on Tongchuan Road, about 45 mins out of Shanghai city centre. Stalls upon stalls of fishermen offering their LIVE catch. You can take your pick of shellfish, crabs, lobster, octopus and lord knows what else, give your purchases to one of the many restaurants nearby and get them to whip up a sumptious meal for a fraction of the price of what you'd pay in Singapore.

Can't wait for more stuff!!
