After getting off our bus in Chinatown, my cousin Sam, Panke, Uncle Tom & Aunt Lois met us just in time for lunch. We stopped at a Chinese restaurant in Chinatown. The usual food we order in a Chinese restaurant, we found out, isn't really authentic Chinese food. But thankfully, the waiter said they could make it for us. :)
See what we ordered? :)
After eating, we headed home via the subway and took a nap at Sam & Panke's apartment while Sam, Panke, Uncle Tom & Aunt Lois went to see Sam & Panke's new apartment (they are moving in a week or so). For supper, Panke make a traditional Chinese dinner called "Hotpot." It was very good! The pot in the middle of the table is full of boiling soup stock and as we sat at the table, Panke would add in meets and vegetables to cook in the pot. The food would cook quickly and we would eat it as it cooked. My favorite were the fish cakes. I know, it sounds weird, but it really was good! I like the sesame sauce to dip it in (seen at the bottom right corner of the picture).
Catherine opted for a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and banana! :)

That's a very interesting-looking meal! I bet Pan Ke's a good cook. That was very nice of Sam and Pan Ke to be your host and hostess in New York City!
Love, Mom
