Our tour group's lunch in a local restaurant in Longsheng, Guangxi - 19 hungry Malaysian tour members had their 1st taste of Chinese set lunch (8 to 9 common dishes comprising of stir fried vegetables, vegetable based soup, fried egg & tomatoes, tofu, pork, chicken or duck meat, steamed river fish (very bony) + fresh fruit + rice + coca cola drink or sprite + local beer etc served in a choice restaurant nearest to our city of stay or touristy place ! My favourite dish for this lunch was the tasty roasted duck meat !
Our tour group's dinner in a local restaurant in Guilin, Guangxi - again 19 of our hungry Malaysian tour members looking forward for a wholesome dinner after a hard day of visit ! If you enjoy eating braised fatty pork meat, go for it as most of our tour members skip this dish ! A glass of local beer (low alcohol strength) is probably the best drink of the night !
