We have this amazing outdoor food market and BBQ up the street from the school. My favourite thing to order is the veggie soup. How it works: You go to the fresh veggie lady and she gives you a basket. You stick your head inside her cart and choose the skewered veggies you like: cabbage, broccoli,cauliflower, mushroom,tofu,lettuce... and then she puts the veggies in a hot pot. After they are done stewing for a few minutes, she puts some kind of hot and peanuty sauce on the veggies and serves it to you with chop sticks. So good! We usually also order skewered beef, lamb and garlic bread, and of course a Tsing Tao, or in Chinese "iga Pijou" (one beer). One of my favourite things to do in the week is sit at that outdoor BBQ, with my friends, eating soup and meat, drinking beer, and sharing stories from our day. It feels like something special and temporary.
