Winter’s Comin’
November 7, 2008We woke up this morning to some chilly temperatures and a stiff north wind blowing. I believe after threatening us for so long that winter is making its way to Dalian. Only 8 more days until the central government revs up the central heating.
Tonight we beat the cold by heading out for a great hot little meal. We went to Lao Ma HunDun which is translates as “Old Mom’s Wonton”. For 80 cents you get a heaping bowl of this
and a drink we love called Jiang Si Kele … Ginger Strip Cola. The recipe is simple
Boil a can of this
and add strips of this
It sounds kind of disgusting when you hear it (boil coke? add ginger strips????) but it is the tastiest way to warm your insides on a cold Dalian day. Although we have never tried it I have seen a recipe for this that includes lemon.
Gotta go put on the woolies!
the drink tastes just as good on a cold winters day in toronto too…
