Like I’ve said in one of my previous post, I was
really hoping to try any exotic Chinese cuisines, like, the turtles, snakes,
frogs, etc. Sadly, our one week stay never allowed us to have any unless, if
paid using our own pocket money, we could have tried, but thinking it will be
expensive made us backed off. Nevertheless, trying their local foods that are a
little different in terms of taste, appearance and the method of cooking
compare to Filipino cuisine, was a one worth of experience.
I already shared the first meal we had in Nanjing. In this post were the food served at Phoenix Hotel.
 |
| Day 1 |
The breakfast at the hotel is served starting 7AM,
but since we have to leave the hotel at 7AM to catch the company bus
going to Jiangning District, Nanjing, we asked the hotel to open the
breakfast area for use by 6AM and have whatever is available.
 |
| Day 2 |
Meaning,
we had the same breakfast for 4 consecutive days before we finally get
to see the whole set of buffet breakfast at hotel.
I actually posted these photos in my Instagram account, linked to Facebook, so that my family and friends will be able see to my travel updates.
FYI: Facebook is not allowed in China.
 |
| Day 2 & 4 |
10 of us in our batch + some colleagues who were already there for FAT (factory acceptance test) took turns
in cooking and toasting the scrambled egg and the slice bread. Plus the
green veggies, the cherry tomatoes (super loved!), the lavender cabbage, orange
fruits, and hot coffee served in a glass because there were no available
ceramic cups yet, completed our “in-a-rush” meal.
 |
| Day 5 |
On the fifth day, because it was our tour
day, we had our breakfast at 7AM, by that time the full buffet courses were
almost served. I wouldn’t say that I was excited to see the dishes served,
because I was already in the state of getting used with the taste and smell of
the local food, and needed something different.
Anyhow, the dishes this time were worthy to
eat + I tasted the pancit China style as shown in my plate, but our pancit here
taste much much better compared to what I had there.
Have you tried the foods above?
If any Chinese friends put there who knows the name of the dishes above kindly let me know by leaving a comment with your name below. Thanks in advance.
Have a Nice Day!
The food looks great, kinda craving for salad right now with fresh tomatoes and lettuce. I never tried any of the food above but I bet they are delicious.:)
ReplyDeleteI think I have tried some of it.. some of their food are bland but they are healthy you just have to get use to it.
ReplyDeleteIt's good that they are accomodating with your request. Cherry tomatoes are yummy and go well with salads.
ReplyDeleteThe food looks yummy sis. When I was in Thailand, I never enjoyed eating at the Hotel buffet though the food were great as well. That's because I am eating alone e. Hehe
ReplyDeleteI can only tell off hand the eggs on the right are Herbal Tea eggs or as they call it in Chinese Cha Yeh Tan. The white buns on the bottom left I think looks like Man tou ( empty buns where you stuff meat inside)..the rest I can't identify.:P
ReplyDeleteI have no idea what are the names of the dishes served. But I guess that's ok, I can eat food that I don't know the name as long as they are good to eat - kind of an adventure.
ReplyDeleteIt always nice to travel, you got to experience the culture, the food and the excitement behind the trip. Great looking breakfast by the way
ReplyDeleteI remembered my first trip to Singapore. The hotel served exactly the same breakfast everyday! But what matters is, it's free and it could last you all a couple of hours :)
ReplyDeleteOh, at least, you were able to enjoy the buffet on your last day.The ham and sausages look delish. I wanna try those Man tou identified by Dominique.
ReplyDeleteOh it would have been really interesting if you were able to eat those exotic foods! But what you were able to eat look delish anyway. :-)
ReplyDeleteI don't know if my first comment went through. Anyway, it would have been really interesting if you were able to eat those exotic foods. But what you ate look delish anyway!
