I visited a city in China called Nanning, near Vietnam. Just to note, that if you think HK taxi’s are cheap (fare starts at 15 HKD for the first 5 mins – about £1.30) then Nanning beats that hands down with taxi’s starting at 7 RMB (about 60p).
Anyway, I’ve just come back from the Nanning Outdoor Food Festival and had a great time. Loads of food on offer and free samples, so I guess if I ever was going to get diarrhea on this trip then now would be the time to get it.
I tried snails, sweet potato soup (really nice), barbaque meat, sweet cornbread with sticky rice, pork dumplings, sweetcorn on a stick, another sticky rice that looked like a dog turd, sweet pork on a stick and bamboo.
I also managed to get my picture taken whilst stuffing my face with cornbread. Three guys stood around me taking photos and was told that my photo will be in tomorrow’s three daily papers – hmmm, I’ll look out for it.
