Was there alot of english subtitles on everything ?

 

[swanlake]

no! I think if i would have just gone myself i would have gotten lost, but i was with a group from school. well except at disneyland they kinda did.

 

[Brandy456]

Lol . I just noticed that.

I believe the top box is lotus root, from the distinct patterning... Likely a similar taste to daikon radish.

 

[swanlake]

yea there was some lotus root and weird shaped tofu in the top corner.
