Life in China 2016: A Picture A Day, June 24 – During the cooler months we used to always enjoy having sweet potatoes and tea after shopping at the larger supermarket in the neighboring town. Unfortunately, sweet potatoes seem to be considered a “winter” snack and they are not available already cooked since we have returned from the USA. So, today, we checked out the prepared dim sum at the supermarket. I guess this would be equivalent to the section in the USA with salads, coleslaw, or side dishes, etc. There are so many choices! We decided to each have a slice of water chestnut cake. I posted about fresh water chestnuts back on March 24 and included a picture of my homemade water chestnut cake… now you can see the “real” thing! After we finished our shopping, we bought iced green tea at our favorite “after shopping” place called “Happy Sweet Potato” and ate our dim sum with it :-)
