Chula Vista

Thing is, if you open your mind, 95% of the food is awesome. Some of the "greens" they consider vegetables are pretty rank, but most of the protien is killer.

You haven't lived until you're eaten authentic Peking Duck. I've also eaten eel, fish head, chicken feet, and pigeon. The only thing that I couldn't handle was fish ball soup.

Before you cook a fish the first thing you do is scrape out all of the guts. Some insane person decided to take that offal and make meatballs out of it and serve it in a very bland broth. Just the memory of it is making me gack.

Once stayed at a hotel that had a live buffet. Literally. Each table had a boiling pot of water (via sterno) and you'd go up and pick up whatever seafood critters you wanted and then cook them right at your table.

I had an acid flashback watching people walking by me with plates of stuff that was moving.

Oh, and Dim Sum is the greatest thing EVER!!!
