I had dinner with my boss and other male colleague last night at a restaurant which served Hangzhou food. It was a bit disconcerting that I ended up eating more than them. I was still going on when both of them had stopped. And get this--we all had the same amount to eat during lunch! AND mid-afternoon, I also wolfed down two bananas soon after I checked in at hotel #3.
These are two grown, adult, 30-something guys we're talking about. So is it just me or is it them???

Sounds like it could be them...what exactly is Hangzhou cuisine?

Hangzhou cuisine seems to have dishes from Shanghainese and Cantonese cuisine. Am not quite sure what is the defining/distinctive characteristic, but the restaurant says it serves Hangzhou food. I think some of the definitive dishes are Tongpo Rou (that really fatty braised piece of pork), jiaozi, roast duck served with pancakes.
