The first stop on our trip was the North Chinese Restaurant, which is known for its Northern style Chinese food. Northern style Chinese food is known for being bold and salty. The noodles are made with wheat. In the southern part of china people normally eat rice. They normally don't eat noodles.

The first dish listed named; Stir Fried Edible Fungus with Yam. The fungus or cloud ear fungus comes from the northern part of china. Also noted this is where Cong originates from, the place with the cloud ear fungus.

The second dish; Stewed Chicken with Chinese Mushroom, this dish is very famous in the northern part of china. The land of Cong. The ingredients used to make this dish is; Chicken, Dry Mushroom, Green Onion, Ginger, Star Anise, Dried Chilly, Soy Sauce, Salt, Sugar, and Alcohol. NOTE: it would be better for you to use dried mushroom instead of fresh mushroom, because dry mushroom adds more flavor to this dish.

The third dish; Northern Style Noodle Soup, is a very interesting dish, all of the ingredients are first cooked separately then they are placed together in one pot and they are then cook again together. After they have been coked, the sauce in the soup is thickened and then the sauce is poured onto the cooked noodle.

The forth and final dish; is Shredded Pork with Dry Tofu and Jalapenos. This dish is from the Cong's Land. It is very spicy. The tofu from Cong's land is very famous a crossed all of china. Especially this type of dried tofu. The tofu is thin, but not chewy although it is soft. 

The the reason the Land of Cong has lots of tofu, is simply because there is lots of soy beans that are grown.
