Lunch at Dazhai Village

We have been travelling since 3 pm the previous day. When we arrived at Dazhai Village, it was just about time for lunch and we still have an hour of uphill climb before we reach our accommodation.

We were not only tired but very hungry as well. My travel companion knows how I get very cranky when I am hungry so we ordered the fastest and simplest lunch.

First to arrive was the bitter melon omelette which was not at all bitter. The owner of the restaurant claims the eggs are free-range, from chicken raised in the mountain.



And of course, rice...there has to be rice. Lots of it. The rice was served on a nice little wooden bucket. Rustic but very nice.



Next came the tofu wedges which were filled with meat and herbs.


And as always in a Chinese table, there's hot tea. Here's my tiny bowl crammed with food.


I do not have pictures of the aftermath but I practically cleared everything! A few more cups of tea and we're happy to go.
