Delicious!

So I have to start this post off with the one thing that makes the world turn (or at least my world) FOOD!

There are so many different types of food, fresh vegetables, and fruits fruits. There isn't a lack of vegetarian food over here from what some of you were thinking. This morning for breakfast I drank some "Dowh Wa", a soft sweeten hot tofu drink, and ate "Pun Mein" and fresh noodle dish made in a peanut sauce. The Pun Mein was so savory that even Ame would have loved it.

So now as the title suggests there is even more food to talk about then the one dish. The fruits here are so sweet and fresh. Today I ate Persimmion's which melted in my mouth like butter and was sweeter than honey. The fruits over here are sold on really every street corner, off of bikes, trucks, every where you go you are able to buy some for literally less then a phone in Toronto. 1 Orange= 15 cents or 2 RMB.

Yesterday as I walked along the beach I ate these fruits called "Hawtorn"'s that were on skewers and were coated with candy. (they looked like baby candy apples 5-6 on 1 stick). They kind of tasted like tamarind but were very flavorful.

Now saving the best for the last. Last night what I ate changed my world! This is not an exaggeration. I ate for the first time in my life a fruit called "Annona Cherimola". It apparently tastes like "custard apple" a similar looking fruit. The way I would describe to you what the fruit tastes like would be, imagine yourself bitting into a custard pastry or turnover and it being so sweet and soft in the inside almost to the point that you could drink it with a straw. It has officially become my favorite fruit to eat. DELICIOUS!

I wish I could post pictures and videos up on the blog but i'm not able to because of the network limitations imposed by the Chinese government. When I have a chance in a couple months, when I travel out of Xiamen I will post them for you to see.

Until next time.
