The Chinese "black" eggs

As long as I know, there are two kinds of "black" eggs in China. One of them is boiled in tea, the other one stayed for a long time in some mixture.
Here you can find more info about the second kind.
I will talk about both kinds later, now, I will just show you a picture of the second kind:

The clicking rice

Yes, sometimes it does happen. Or at least you feel a few clicks every time you chew. In a chain of Korean restaurants in China, you can order rice with roe. The roe is a little bit bigger than usual and with thicker membrane, so it clicks between your teeth every time you chew. It is definitely strange, but you can get used to it.

Without a dessert?

The idea of a dessert or a sweet after the meal is not present in the traditional Chinese culture. According to it, everything is supposed to be on the table and people are eating whatever they want, whenever they want it. Mixing the tastes doesn`t really bother the Chinese. For them it is completely natural to bite a piece of chocolate and add some rice with vegetables or mushroom soup.

What I personally find very funny, is that at the restaurants, they usually serve the soup last, completely opposite to the western habit.
