Today, kaozha is a special dish at big banquets.Another famous dish is called zaobing. It's made with fruit, meat and other things. I really liked it! But I didn't want to eat too much. It has a lot of fat in it.I smelled something burning and I saw smoke, so I found another special food of the Ilan area---duck meat. The duck meat is put in a big oven (炉子) to cook it.
