## Dinner: Apomac

For dinner we went to the Macau Retiree's Association --- [_Associação dos Aposentados, Reformados e Pensionistas de Macau_, or Apomac for short](https://apomac.net/).
They serve traditional Portuguese food.

And with that, our Macau trip is over.
Onto Zhuhai!

# Saturday, 2024-01-06: Arrival in Zhuhai

To be exact, our humble abode (Joanne mom's apartment) is in the relatively suburban district of Doumen.
We spent much of the Zhuhai leg of the trip hanging out with cousins and friends.

In the afternoon, we got a massage at a random massage location and went for a walk.

Then we had earth oven-cooked chicken, mantis shrimp, and other delicious foods with some of Joanne's friends.

# Monday, 2024-01-08: Doumen specialties

On this day we explored Old Doumen, Jintai Temple, and some specialty Doumenese cuisine.
After homemade breakfast, we headed out!

## Lunch: Claypot

For lunch we got claypot food at a mall.
It was pretty expensive by local standards since we didn't have coupons.

## Doumen old street

The [Doumen old street](https://www.tripadvisor.ca/Attraction_Review-g297418-d14031178-Reviews-Doumen_Old_Street-Zhuhai_Guangdong.html) is an old street that they renovated while maintaining the look of the old buildings.
It has a bunch of old restaurants serving local desserts and snacks.
We had a [douhua](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douhua) and some pickled vegetables but it was mediocre.

## Jintai Temple

Then we went to [Jintai Temple](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jintai_Temple).
I created the Wikipedia article for this temple.

As its name implies, it has a nice view of the city.

## Dinner: Seafood and barbeque

We went to _Liu Qiao Barbeque_ (柳桥炭烧).
It is run by a skilled chef from Harbin, specializing in both barbeques and fresh seafood sourced from the clean northern waters.
The chef is also skilled at preparing the delicious sauces and powders for the barbeque.

Without a doubt, the [arctic surf clam](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spisula_sachalinensis) was the star of the show and some of the most delicious food we've eaten on this trip.
It was exquisitely tender and jellylike.

> The foot of the clam is black when raw, but turns characteristically red when cooked.

Most arctic surf clam served in the US is cooked --- rubbery and flavorless. We've never had the raw one before, but it was amazing.
We also had a briefly poached one that was even better than the completely raw one, even more tender and sweet.

The restaurant has a number of other amazing seafood such as king crab, but we didn't have the chance to try that.
We'll have to return at some point!

## Dinner: Shunde sashimi

Shunde is known for shunde yusheng, or raw freshwater fish.

> **Warning**: consuming raw or undercooked freshwater fish may pose an extreme health hazard due to the risk of parasites.

Anyway, it was pretty delicious.
The fish was sliced into small slices of less than a millimeter thick each, so each slice was transparent.
It is then mixed with a bunch of condiments including oil, onion, dill, dried orange peel, pickles, ginger, carrot, garlic, and chili.
It was amazing!

## Dinner: Hotpot

We had hotpot in a themed place in a mall where all the servers dressed up as construction workers and had scheduled dance performances.

# Saturday, 2024-01-13: Flight back

Anyway I got food poisoning.
Not sure if I got it from the shunde raw fish or the beef hotpot, but extreme diarrhea and fever were had.
Two visits to the ER ensued.

In the ensuing days I recovered and stool tests revealed no parasites or ova.

Oh well, until next time!
