Sunday evening we went to a local Chinese restaurant for tea. Now when I say local, I mean it's not like our Chinese restaurants we have back home! They aren't 'westernised'.
.
For example ... they keep there fire extinguisher in a box. The seating is okay for sitting on, but you definitely wouldn't want to eat off it!
This is the "inside" kitchen where the drinks are made.
When you order Chinese tea the little cups come in a container of boiling water, so you rinse them around, take them out and then use the hot water to wash your utensils :-) hehehee (Who would have thought I would be laughing at that! LOL)

Just a tidy corner of the restaurant!

This was some sort of fish dish - can't remember the name sorry, but I had to turn the dish around so the "eyes" weren't looking at me. I still can't like that!

OMG you so would not want to have heard what just came out of my mouth reading this post ... unprintable!!!
Thought you were in Indonesia, notice from one of your pics.
Well I'm all for eating local but I don't know about the frogs... I wouldn't want to pick one first. I think I could try one once it was cooked up.
The mildewy chairs make an atmospheric touch!
oh I love this post ... fascinating ... I wouldn't want the fishes eyes facing me either!! ... and at least with washing your own teacups and utensils you know they are clean!!!LOL
lol!
the juxtaposition and irony is humourous. well done in telling a story via photos. great stuff.
can't say much about the "brrp... brrp... bbrrppp... bbrrrppp..."
Haha...your photos reminds me of how Malaysian we are :) I have to admit that the frog is one of my fav dish! It's taste really good if you stop thinking that it's a frog :)
