Whenever you take a whole day tour in China, lunch is provided. The food is tailored for tourists-translation is that it's pretty bland and not good by Chinese standards. Our meal at the Suzhou No.1 Silk Factory included 9 different dishes and was unremarkable except for the deep fried sweet and sour whole fish. As you can see the head was prominently displayed on the plate. The fish was battered and deep fried and was covered by a sweet and sour sauce. The meat was tender and just fell off the bone. It had a wonderful taste and I would definitely have it again.
