My New favourite Vegetable Rediscovered in the Meatiest of Restaurants. 冰草 Ice Grass

Ice Grass is every bit as refreshing as it looks but it is not what it looks like.

It looks like it just came out of the freezer or its able to grow outside in the snowy winter but it's the exact opposite. It grows in south China and I am told it's a new invention. I had never seen anything like it before and what an amazing discovery. I first tried it a couple months ago at a fancy restaurant my boss took me too. I never thought I'd see it again, what luck to find it here.

Those little beads are not frost or ice they are simply water bubbles. It really has no taste, it's very mild like lettuce but very crisp as though it were ice. I just eat the way it is, no dressing, no cooking and even though it's at room temperature it still gives me the feeling like I'm biting into a fresh Cesar salad's ice berg lettuce. If you ever see it on the menu do not miss out on this, you will love it.

I was out at Brazilian BBQ with some friends last night which famous for its roasted meat and table service. They have a buffet with all you can eat and the waiter comes to your table to slice the fresh out of over or hot off the grill selections of meat.

(Raost Beef, tender, juicy and hot.)

Not only do they come around with mutton, beef, chicken, shrimp and a variety of different parts of the animals you can not come here and not crawl out overloaded with food. The squid was good too.

They also have some simple desserts and fruits. A nice touch to finish the meal. If you manage to save enough room you might like these but people don't come here for the cakes, so much less effort is put into them but still yummy.

It really is the best as the name suggests. Pretty ballsy to name yourself the best, at least these guys really have it down. They closed rather early at 9:00pm so don't be late arriving. It's incredibly busy 6:30pm - 8:00pm but by 8:30pm they stop making cooking and people start filtering out.

By the time we left it was pretty much empty and the staff were kindly pushing us to find the exit. I'm sure they're tired and can't wait to get home before the last bus or train stops the night. This place is a little off the beaten path and finding taxi after 9:00pm must be real pain, as I learned.
