We arrived in New Jersey (by driving through New York City as Karen directed) in the evening, to a feast - everything from delicious home-made soup to fish to rice to meat and a very warm welcome from Julie's cousins.
After a good night's rest, we woke up to another complete meal - delicious rolls of crispy fried rice made with coconut milk, eggs, toast, coffee, rice, fish.... I have discovered some new dipping sauces for meat. Then, Julie and her cousin made Hopia which is a Filipino bean filled pastry filled with sweetened yellow mung bean paste. This turned out to be a lovely, flaky light pastry with a just-sweet-enough filling....more eating.
Then we were off to Atlantic City with a stop at another cousin's house for lunch. This time we had another soup with prawns and vegetables and probably the most delicious fried rice dish (very like paella) that I have ever eaten along with several other dishes.
