Sweet blog man. Nice to see another laowai here! Out of curiousity, can you recall what Chinese dishes you had without bones?

Ni shi zhong guo ren ma? I guess I started dreadfully hating bones when I was on a 17 hour train ride to Shanghai and I got a fish bone caught in my throat for the duraton of the journey. It was really a miserable experience.

Hey guys my name is Ian and I am currently living in Shenzhen, China. I have been living here for about 2 years now and recently started a blog and YouTube cooking channel. I am a huge fan of food and am looking to chat with other like minded people! Especially Asian food!! I also love weird food a lot and am ALWAYS down to try anything! If you have a minute, please check out my blog and/or my YouTube channel if you want to get an idea what I do!

I for one am a huge hater of bones in fish. And as you know, the majority of Chinese fish dishes are loaded with bones. I personally can't stand them. What is your opinion when it comes to bones in these dishes? There is however at least one Chinese dish that I know of that does NOT have bones. It's called song zi yu, and it is a dish from Dongbei. It's a large lake fish that is sliced and breaded and fried, and looks JUST LIKE a blooming onion from Outback Steakhouse (With a head on it...) covered in sweet and sour sauce. Absolute perfection!
