Gluttony Chinese style.
And what a gluttony of a feast…
Peking duck wraps.
Duck in black pepper sauce.
Stewed pork belly with preserved vegetables, in steamed buns.
Shark’s head with garlic and chives.
Giant sea clams with broccoli and ginger.
Crispy eels with leafy vegetables and fermented red rice.
Steamed whole fish with soy sauce and green onions.
Stir fried egg noodles with pork and seafood.
Deep fried sesame balls filled with sweet black sesame paste.
Fresh yellow watermelon and papaya.
Hot Chinese black tea and icy cold Indonesian beer.…and there were only 6 of us.

Shark's head? I want photos
Wow!! Did you roll out? And yes, I want to see the shark's head, too.
Bring it on - I accept the challenge!
My mouth drooled after the first dish.
Seriously where can one obtain some shark head... The only place I know of is Singapore
Where are the food porn pics?
Are you serious? Could you stand up after all that?
Beer and tons of food. Sound like serious male bounding going on, brother Rudy.
Why so few dishes?
@oxyGENE_08 - @beowulf222 - @CurryPuffy - sorry folks, no pics were taken. it would be very unprofessional of me taking pics of food during a business (sort of) dinner.
@Fatcat723 - really, bob? i doubt floridians able to munch as much as we do here.
@Vitamin_D - i don't blame you. i did the same as soon as the first dish arrived at the table.
@NIMOnkey - seriously? where?? i want to know.
@ZSA_MD - rest asure, i paced myself during the dinner and only took as much as i needed. i let the rest of the guys took most of the dishes since they were drinking alcohol and i did not. besides, the guest of honor should have more helpings than the rest of us, considering he was leaving the country for good.
@catstemplar2 - male bonding indeed. the subject of conversation mostly revolved around food and the happiness food brings
@christao408 - exactly what i thought!! if i had my way, i would have fish head soup, the crispy roasted pork belly, braised abalone with silken tofu, eggplant with salted fish in a claypot, stir fry kwe-tiaw noodles, and many more on top of all that. im starting to think i really need to visit bangkok for comparison and for a change in culinary scene.
@ZSA_MD - and thank u for the recommendation
@rudyhou - You'd be most welcome.
omg... this is indeed a feast. I've never heard of shark's head being eaten before. What does that taste like?
@ElusiveWords - actually, it's not the meat from the head that we ate. it's that layer of fat-like underneath the skin that has a soft chewiness that said to be good for the skin. not sure what it's called. it was quite mild in flavor but smooth and silken in texture and yellowish in color. almost like a mixture of sea cucumber n fish maw n turtle fat all in one. hard to describe.
