Eat Meets Wet! or Which Way to the Peking Duck?

This past Saturday, despite the horrible, wet weather (forecast was 2 to 3 inches), we decided to go down to Chinatown for it's annual "Taste of Chinatown" food bazaar. More than 50 participating merchants set up tasting stations outside their stores, selling their signature dishes at $1 or $2 a plate. You KNOW we're not going to let a little rain stop us! Come On!

G. Gumption nervously holds on to her Won Ton Noodles in the midst of the hungry throng.





What's an event in Chinatown without the mandatory Lion Dance?...


And the lions asked, in their great big lion voice:"Hey Lady! Which way to the Peking Duck?"



... or the occasional "Little Fried Fish" dance?

And the little fried fish asked, in their little fried fish voice:"Hey Lady! Which way to the Peking Duck?"


Tessa and Ginnie have high tea with popular Singapore actress Fann Wong (who was in Shanghai Knights..)

When Fann Wong asked in her Fanny voice:"Hey Lady! Where the Peking Duck?"


G. Gumption braves the threat of pneumonia (it was only 40 plus fahrenheit).
And as you can see from her choice of footwear, she's totally prepared for some serious flooding.
And of course, her Peking Duck.
