Eating Chinese food was a tradition in my family. I remember that during
my childhood, we visited every Sunday a Chinese restaurant called "Tung Hoi", located in Grecia with
Salvador. Nowadays, this restaurant is not Chinese any more, now it is instead,
a Peruvian food restaurant.
In spite of that, that restaurant
will always be on my memory.
I remember that my favourite dishes were the fried shrimp and spring
onion pastries and the Mongolian meat. These pastries were served with a sweet
and sour tamarind sauce, which combined perfectly with the shrimp and the
spring onion inside them. On the other hand, the Mongolian meat was the perfect
combination of the sweetness of the spring onions, the flavour of the meat, the
salty taste of the soy sauce and finally, the brilliant spicy touch of the
green pepper. All these were accompanied with "chaufan" rice, giving
as a result a gorgeous and complete meal.
For the dessert, we always bought popsicles in a little market next to the
restaurant. For me, it was the perfect way to finish the lunch.
