Q: Chicken or the Egg
Not what came first, but here in China what would you rather eat?
1.) The chicken, you know half cooked, or has been there for about a week so its stuck to whatever they cooked it to.
2.) The egg, its boiled but half boiled, half raw.....and about a year old so who knows what virus' are brewing in the raw part of the egg white.
Cheers.....and have it with some aged goat milk, yum!
i would buy fresh eggs. which is available very easliy and cheap... Boil it myself / fry/scramble whatever and eat fresh....
I wouldn't eat either, mate. I'd also advise you to find a better eating place, there are plenty of them around.
Chinese chicken sucks - go for the eggs and tomato, one of the best things China has to offer!
mArtiAn:
Actually the egg and tomato dish is lovely with just a little bit of sugar added at the last minute.
MissA:
I never mastered it at home - I'm usually okay at tasting something, picking the flavours and copying it, but no matter what I tried (sugar included), I couldn't get that one just right.
mArtiAn:
It's not that tricky (HA! Like i'm the great cook), you shoom, shoom the egg for a minute (no salt), then shoom, shoom the tom-tats (add a pinch of salt / pinch of sugar), then chuck it all together and Robert's your father's brother, voila!
MissA:
Yeah that's what I'd do, but it never tasted right.... always better in restaurants!
Seriouslu am going to answer you with some other question.........are you seriously askig this question or you just feel a bit bored and you got nothing to do?......and to please you with an answer.....i don't care anymore cause i think i had those before somehwere in the seven years i spent here.....I wish you can enjoy your holidays instead of asking some sort of absurd ones......Enjoy!
badtroll:
Just want to see what people will go for? I've seen them both here in China.
When you are here, you respect the culture.
Sokie:
My English is not good enough to understand your sentence, mArtiAn.

^go there.....
guess i cant comment either, she wouldnt understand my English.
mArtiAn:
'Oh that that were so' is an expression meaning 'that is not the way it is but I wish it was.' In other words, I agree with you, when you are in another person's home you 'should' respect it.....but sadly that is not the way many people behave.
