Mom Part 2

On Saturday night we had a welcome dinner to Shanghai for my mom with my friend!!  There were a total of 19!  We went to one of our favorite places Sichuan Citizen!  We made sure everyone had several of their famous Basil Drops!  They are so delicious, and have sugar on the rim of the glasses!  After several different dishes, and drinks we headed off to a local roof top bar for a night cap!

On Sunday we took the train up to Beijing! It was a nice day so it was fun to see China's country side, we also brought wine and cheese to make the time fly by!!  My friend Jenny, and her two cousins Mallory, and Danielle came to Beijing with us.  The first night in Beijing we took the visitors to hot pot! Hot pot is Chinese found.  There are several varieties of stew in a simmering metal pot of stock in the middle of the table.  The pot is kept simmering will you add sliced meats, leaf vegetables, mushrooms, and noodles to cook. It is so delicious!

Hot pot broth, the red one is spicy!

They have great dipping sauce, the hard part is getting everything out with your chopsticks

Here is the pork!  We also got tons of fresh veggies to cook as well!
