Chinese Food

Well, where do i begin.  How's the food? will be the question.  is it like the chinese food we have here?
let's just say that my best chinese vocabulary deals with food.  i wasn't going to fool around, i needed to make sure i got what i wanted.  when i asked this young chinese girl about some food, she told me this joke (which is actually pretty true).  she said the people from the _______ province will eat anything with wings, except a plane, anything with legs except a chair and anything that's in the water except a boat.  nothing is off limits.  I have found that to be true.  the food is good, you never know every ingredient, but it has been tasty.  I am including some photos of my favorite places.  I have not seen an egg roll yet.  the night lights up with street food venders.  if you are choose carefully you can find some good bbq chicken, etc.  they make up the fried rice right in front of you so you can tell them what to put in it.  most everything has meat, but not much.  The noodles are fresh and almost everyone eats rice noodles in soup for breakfast, although there are other options.  The combos are good and the dumplings (like the potstickers) are excellent.  the fruit is everywhere and quite fresh.  If i didn't have to walk so much and climb so many stairs i'm sure i would be gaining weight.
