Yangshuo: BBQ in the Night Market

At night, the market becomes an eating area with several BBQ stands. I went last week with Kelly and Leo, and we ordered way too much stuff - they have a display and you choose what you want to BBQ - a lot of it is actually then deep fried first, then BBQd, so it's a bit greasy but some was pretty good. There was some fried pumpkin, and some good spicy chicken.

One picture here shows Kelly and Leo eating oysters, which were barbecued with lots of garlic in a tomatoey sauce. These were really good, and tasted almost like Italian food.

Another picture shows the display with various items - some more appealing than others.

The last picture is of me trying pig's penis. It didn't taste good at all - it actually just tasted like rubber. Kelly and Leo made me take this picture - they didn't eat any because they don't like it. We mostly got it for the novelty. I won't be having it again. In front of me though was a huge platter of BBQ fish - this was really good, the sauce was spicy and had cumin and lots of mint in it - this style is from the Southern part of Guanxi province, so there were definite Vietnamese influences here. Apparently there's another place in town that makes this type of BBQ fish even better, so I'll definitely try it at some point.
