The Grandma's

Ahhhhh The Grandma's.......this is one of our favorite restaurants. This is a chain, all over Hangzhou

      This is a cabbage dish. If you could taste this, the flavour would shock you and you would probably eat cabbage every day!

    This is the same as the cabbage......bursting with flavours! It makes loving vegetables easy!

   Green veggies, a bit crunchy,  great broth and tofu.....yep I said it! 
   TOFU. Turn your nose up if you like, but the Chinese know how 
    to cook with tofu. We in the western world have no idea. All we 
    know is how to make it taste like shit! Speaking of shit.....and 
    food in the same sentence, yum! There is a Tofu here that we 
    refer to as "shit tofu" because if you are in a restaurant and smell
   it ...ummmm WOW....smells like, you drank to much the night 
   before shit! No joke, I thought my son was going to barf at the 
   dinner table. I have a fairly strong stomach, but this smell makes 
   it almost impossible to eat!(not the tofu, but any food)
   In fact restaurants are talking about banning it. On one menu it's  
   English translation said poo tofu. 
   Need I say more? It is fermented tofu. Why the heck would you              eat something that smells like someone just hung a big dump on your plate?.............Oh China! :)

     And the fish...pan fried perch. Yes the head is still on it!   Get over it ......we don't eat the head. 
However the Chinese believe the cheek is the best meat and they leave it for their guests. The  women believe it is good for the complexion.
