Some something should probably be said about last night's dinner. We wondered off to a little whole in the wall spot that Dad & Barb knew called Wonderland. Excellent little spot at the edge of a small river with an interesting style of menu. Everything you order is family style, and gown much you get of everything is dependent on how many people you have and how much you order. Dad tells me the chefs are excellent at determining portions so that people do not leave hungry but there is very little leftovers left. Last night's meal consisted of sweet and sour chicken, red snapper in a black pepper sauce, a local green that tasted similar to a Chinese cabbage in an oyster sauce, large tempura shrimps, and a mound of calamari. The calamari, which locally is known by the often apt name of cumi-cumi (pronounced chewme-chewme) was very tasty and well cooked. The snapper was cooked and served whole. Crys was unsure of that, having said in the past she didn't think she could eat one that way. Now faced with it (literally) she asked me if I could get some of it off for her, as she couldn't bring herself to dig into it. By then end of the meal she had decided that it was tasty enough to justify getting some more on her own. She did, however, keep the head facing the other way when she did so...
All was quite good, and true to form we were pretty stuffed with very little left on the table before leaving.
Another meal worth noting is the past two day's breakfast. We've all sat down to a nice meal of fresh fruits, including bananas, apples, Sri fruit, plumbs, and grapes along with cheddar cheese, cream cheese, nuts and yogurt. Sri fruit is odd. It looks like a hard plumb on the outside, but when you pop it open it's full of these slimy little chunks that look sort of like raw squid. It is very sweet though and has a good taste. You just have to get passed the texture.
