Gym opens at 10AM here. So lunch was around 1:30.
Stir fry with pork, green pepper, red pepper, chili peppers, red onion.
Could only eat half of it. I haven't been eating much this trip and my stomach sends to have adapted to that.

Do they just have lots of this or do they have burger places, Italian food?

From a Mexican restaurant across from the China apartment
Ann's there is a Kenny Rogers chicken place but the chicken lands more Chinese than American.

It was like that in Korea. We would eat mostly in the mess hall but every so often, the CSM would gather up the Senior NCOs and we'd go for a "Traditional Korean" meal. We went out one night to a place the taxi driver recommended. The menu was in pictures. Chicken, beef, pork, seafood. Sounded simple, strait forward. Yeah, not so much. CSM says " Bring it all!" That and Soju. Well, we were about plastered when the food came! Soju will sneak up on you...quickly! Mommasan brought out the food, if I recognized it, I would try it, but there was a lot of stuff that was still staring at me! Lots of teeth still showing and a lot of slimy stuff too! The coup de grace was this pot she brought out with a burner under it, she took the lid off and something tried to crawl out!!!!! She was smacking it with a wooden spoon and it looked like it was trying to bite her! THAT was enough for me!
 
I lost a lot of weight in Asia, too! But that was from lots of exercise and eating lots of vegetable-based dishes; I ate pretty much anything they put in front of me. I once got a bird head in my soup...

EDIT: And, except for the chicken fingers (lol), most of Fishy's Dishes here looked pretty good!

This particular dish was quite spicy. I tried the broth but didn't touch the chicken.
I should have taken a picture of the duck head soup they ordered. That looked really nasty.

Good thing you are not a drinker or there is no telling what you'd eat one night.

yea piss on that, i stuck with the food carts by the base.
 
That's why I'm glad I spent most of my time in Germany. Doener kebaps after leaving the bars. Steak sandwiches at the little fests & roast chicken. Schnitzel & spaetzle & yummy, yummy beer.

Hungary & Romania have some interesting dishes & I loved most every one I tried, though brains & tripe soup were just not gonna happen.

Africa was sketchy AF. We bought groceries at Lebanese & ex-pat French markets & tended to stick to the Lebanese restaurants, as even the nicest of most local joints could be an adventure. Saw a good bit of that continent & despised every moment of it.
