Activities
4/9 Slow Food Talk
Deep Fried Mahi-mahi Thick Soup
Yuchi and her husband have been catering for more than four decades in Chenggong. They were especially invited to present this local classic dish. While the water was boiling with great steam and the oil was bubbling, Yuchi calmly explained each step of this dish and shared their life stories in between.
4/10 Slow Food Talk
Learning Fish Cutting from an Expert
It’s one thing to eat fish but quite another to cut one up. Many fish purchased in Chenggong harbor end up here to be prepared by the local fish-cutting expert, Xinxian. Within no time, the Mahi-mahi is sliced into clean-cut pieces. Via the demonstration, we get to appreciate each section is prepared into a dish and to appreciate each bite with gratitude.
Slow Food Tour
At the Sea / A Trip around the Harbor
Welcome on board to the whale-watching boat. We’ll learn about different fishing boats and ways of fishing in Chenggong. The captain will also explain where fish catch is unloaded, where boats get refueled, where the ice is picked up before heading out and where boats get the maintenance. We’ll learn all about the importance and the history of this 90-year-old harbor.
