Muslim Food Street @ Xian

I've been to several food streets around China, however, my experience in Xian was probably the most rewarding. Really it is more than just a food street, the main street is just the center of an entire neighborhood known as the Muslim Quarter which deserves your exploration. Here many restaurants make an effort to show off the days offerings by hanging the carcasses of dead animals from hooks on the street facing side of the shop. It's really an efficient and representative way to advertise whats for dinner, I think if all restaurants were forced to do this it would make people reconsider where they ate.

NapaHai Lake @ Shangri-La

On the way over to NapaHai Lake we ran into a herd of cows, horses and sheep blocking traffic while an old lady tried to guide them back to safety by banging a stick on the ground, surprisingly this technique worked quite well.

South American Food on Cleveland Street

After getting home tonight I decided to go out in the rain and find a place to eat out. I made my way to Crown street in Surrey Hills and walked the street to investigate my options. The restaurants ranged from Japanese to Indian food, and from high end diner to hole in the wall shack.
