North Korean Restaurant

With the project on the last stretch, a good number of the people are leaving Shanghai to go home (like me, in 2 weeks). So, as always, there are goodbye dinners, goodbye lunches, goodbye brunches, goodbye benders. This weekend was our goodbye weekend for Derek - my roomate for the past 3 months. After a good stint here in China, he left for San Francisco on Sunday. Here are some pictures of the fun and games:

To start with, supper at a North Korean restaurant. Fun and crazy food like:




Sea Urchin - actually not too bad because the inside was mixed with some kind of egg stuff.




Dog - again, actually quite yummy (a bit fatty). I have no hang ups of eating "cute dogs" because I think lambs and rabbits are even cuter than dogs, yet I eat those... I can sense mom (a vegetarian) cringing right now. hee hee.




It's hard to see, but this "Long Life Liquor" has in it's list of ingredients "Penis of Fur Seal". Yummy!!!


The costumes at this place were also pretty funny:

Oh baby, you can really make out the beautiful curves underneath this, um, bell-like fashion statement.



Every now and then, a bunch of the waitresses would go on stage and sing songs written by Mr. Kim - the fearless dictator of North Korea. Can't say he's much of a composer, but he does have millions of faithful (if periodically "reeducated") followers.



Here are our 2 tables (front and back right). Note the heaps and heaps of food revolving on the lazy susans. Lots of yummy stuff!



David busting out his drum skillz.



And Derek gettin' down.

It's sad to see Derek go, but now I have someone to visit in San Francisco - one of my favorite cities in the USA. Have a great time in San Fran buddy!!!

Dude...I'm glad you posted that picture of dog. I thought that was something of the past but apparently no. Awesome!! And penis of fur seal!? PURE genius!! I always thought there was a lack of penis in good alcohol.
