Hot and Spicy Steamboat

Went to a spicy hot steamboat (麻辣火锅) outlet in Chongqing (重庆), China


The pot is huge and the soup smells good


The outlet is called CTM, named after a famous harbour in Chongqing



It tastes really good, I almost wanna fly into the air



You can order dishes from the menu, from meat to vege and some exotic items


You must try out its local beer, and local cigarette if permissible




There are also street performing singers, walking from outlet to outlet, charging RMB 10 per song of your choice



This singer resembles typical Chinese facial outlook, and he can sing certain songs really well, but certainly not Cantonese songs




These 2 kids attracted by his melody




This cutie boy with pinky plummy cheek, not sure whether it's due to the hot work or something else ..























A Village in China

Went to a village in China recently and it's an eyes opener ..



It's a beautiful undisturbed country side with plenty of fresh air


These flower plants can produce natural cooking oil, and it adds colors to the surrounding




Awesome plum flowers during 2012 spring season




I have seen fake plum flowers many times in my home country and that was the real encounter, it's a romamce at first sight.



Plum flowers by the unique village houses



Enjoying my photo moment with a simple and friendly villager



Dried vege at the open area and it brings back nostalgic moments with my late grandmother



Village chicken without the impact of Marie France



Feeding themselves with natural nutrients




The farm in the early morning with mystical fog

The scenery made me speechless




Seeing a farmer starting his work in the early hour


I was on my way back to the city, after some amazing hours at this charming village


Will surely return one day, for more photo shots ;)
