The pictures show us all having a grand time at the restaurant! The restaurant was very popular, and I could certainly see why. You can see it is very pretty, and every table was full. People were still arriving to eat at 9 PM when we were leaving. One half of the hot pot was Sichuan-style soup, the other half was a mild broth. Guess which side Sandy ate from?! We started the dinner with a green-bean noodle dish that was very spicy...I just needed a straw to eat the sauce, it was so good! You can see Carol and Candy adding food to the hot pot...tofu, meat, fish, dumplings, cabbage, lettuce, pieces of Chinese "doughnuts," mushrooms...even squid paste dropped in balls in the liquid by the waitress. We ate for a solid two hours, and I enjoyed every single bite, but those tiny girls could eat me under the table! I even said hello to Maple's mom while they were talking on the phone. We finished with shave ice desserts. Some had condensed milk poured on the ice before the fruit juice topping. I had passion fruit topping only, and I thought I had died and gone to heaven it was so good! We took pictures both before we started to eat and after we had finished (and please see Maple in tennis shoes like Emma's). We even took a "bunny ear" picture! How could I possible thank these women for such a wonderful night? They have been effusive in their praise of the class, but I appreciated their can-do attitude and their hard work. I truly hope they will stay in touch, and that I will get to see them again. They are a big reason it is hard to leave Taiwan.
