Land of Smiles
Re: Land of Smiles
There is one memorable visit to a factory I had last week. They had told me to have dinner together which I agreed. Now this is a super big factory, super as in super-duper super factory. When meeting was over they drove me to a building in the center of the factory area this building looks luxurious even from the outside resembling a very big villa.
This is how it look upon entering
Inside are dining rooms, at at the back a very nice Chinese garden and places for drinking tea, water features, large luxurious meeting rooms etc. Basically its like a club or recreational building for the factory.
Before dinner was served we first had this Chinese wine
Was first served in your personal jar
The you pour it into your own glass
Finally dinner was served
Egg fried with some sort of tea leaves really exquisite
Braised pork
Prawn and celery
This is a delicacy found in this province only known as knife fish a rare and expensive fish one fish per person.
Pigeon
Stir fry vegetables with garlic
The spread
Then come the river puffer fish, like its Japanese cousin has to be prepared by professionals as a part of the body has poison.
The skin of the puffer fish is rough like sand paper so you have to position the skin such that the smoother inside is facing out while the rough side is inside so it will not rub against inside of mouth
This comes in a pair looks like tofu is actually found only in the male puffer fish containing the sperm of puffer fish basically its like the testicles of a mammal aiso known as milt. This is also seasonal extra big like this during mating season. Supposed to be very expensive and rare.
Abalone with broccoli
I asked why you have a "restaurant" in your factory with professional chefs that answer was sometime its not convenient for "some customer" to be seen dining outside restaurants. I assume he meant officials.
It was a great meal I must say

Re: Land of Smiles
When I lived on Hangzhou and went out for dinners with chinese partners there usually was a lot of food left at the end that we could impossibly eat. Delicious but much toooo much. EVERY time.
work is for people who cant find truffles
Re: Land of Smiles
China chinese are known to waste lots of food. Order lots because of face. Sad. As a Chinese myself from Singapore I couldn’t agree with such wastes.truffledog wrote: ↑Sun Mar 19, 2023 9:06 pm When I lived on Hangzhou and went out for dinners with chinese partners there usually was a lot of food left at the end that we could impossibly eat.

Oh I am a screw salesman in Thailand. I travel because my Thai boss assigned me to travel to help him, sometimes look for material, sometimes look for customers, sometimes look for business opportunities. But generally I stay in Thailand to help my Thai boss sell screws.
