Happy Farmhouse 太湖边，漫山岛的农家乐

I went to see the 漫山岛 to have a dinner beside the beautiful Taihu Lake last weekend. It was by far the best restaurant I visited in 2018. If you ever have the chance to visit Suzhou, I highly recommend this place. All the dishes are so fresh and delicious, though they may not look that good on photos. Now I prefer to eat at the farmhouse. All the restaurants in the city is so boring. Their dishes look so good on photos, but all these taste the same to me. I am in love with the fresh cooking style in the countryside.

上周末我去看漫山岛吃农家乐，坐落于美丽的太湖边。这是迄今为止我在2018年访问过的最好的餐厅。如果你有机会参观苏州，我强烈推荐这个地方。所有的菜都非常新鲜和美味，虽然他们在照片上看起来不太好。现在我更喜欢在农家吃饭。感觉城市里所以的彩色都很单调。他们的菜肴在照片上看起来不错，但所有这些对我来说味道都一样。我更偏爱农家菜新鲜的烹饪风格。

Marinated shrimp with Wine

醉虾

When this dish is brought on our table, the shrimps are still alive and kicking. It tastes good.

虾子上桌的时候是活蹦乱跳的，看得超级有食欲。

Braised fish

激浪鱼

I am not sure whether this fish is available in other places outside Suzhou.

不知道你们那里有没有，似乎只有太湖这里有这个品种。

Funny part is that when I arrived at this island, I found there is no taxi for me to return home. The owner of the Happy Farmhouse drove me to the town, and I called Ethan come to pick me up.

有趣的是，当我吃完饭，准备回家的时候，发现马路上渺无人烟，滴滴打车一直显示附近无车可用。农家乐的老板娘刚好要去镇采办一些东西，我蹭车到了镇上，然后求助Ethan来接我。某只猪开车狂飙了一个小时，才到了小镇，哈哈。
