An evening in Mongolia, ChangPing, DongGuan

We were led to the roof where there was a clay round hut. A door about 5 feet high leads into the tent. Inside, a round table which seats about 10. We were missing our Mongolian armoury.
Again, good food, Mongolian style. We had camels hump and leg of lamb grilled. Some pics with my mobile phone camera....



Camels hump (tender & juicy) & A leg of lamb seasoned & delicious

Lil' town of ChangPing in DongGuan, China

There is nothing touristy about ChangPing, yet I had great food after a tiring days work.
Masala Restaurant - The only indian food restaurant in Chang Ping. Opened by ethnic Indians they serve authentic Northern Indian food. We had Chicken Tika, chicken curry, shrimp chutney, dal, nan and a bowl of basmati rice.




Great food and good company; a formula for an excellant evening. At the table we had a local chinese, an indian lady from New York, an American and 2 Malaysians.
I'll let you guess who's who.
A United Nations type meal!!

Note : the colorful dishes and empty bowls.

The only drawback culturally is the long tables as chinese likes to see the person they are drinking and eating with face to face (or across the table). Lets hope the food catches on, if not, there's always one thing in common............the alcohol!!
