When I lived in Istanbul, I ate a lot of very good Turkish food. In Shanghai, I eat a lot of very good Mexican, Italian, Moroccan, Lebanese, Punjabi and American food, as well as the forty bazillion shades of Chinese food on every corner.
Chinese food in China is awesome and surprising and nothing like what you find in all-you-can-eat buffet restaurants in suburban North America (or urban Turkey, for that matter).
You can get beautiful dishes heavy with garlic and greens and veggies and chilis, and if you are so inclined, all sorts of random body parts hacked into pieces and stewed and braised and sauteed and fried.
What is particularly awesome? This is awesome:
