The 1st International Barbecue Festival was held in Kaiyuan Hotel on April 17.

　　A whole ox is being barbecued on the spot. Cooks here tells us that this is small ox. It’s a tough job to broil the ox since it weighs more than 100 kilograms. It needs both physical strength and skills.

　　The cook tells: You have to use top charcoal without any toxic smoke and keep on fanning so that the meat can be well broiled.

　　Yes, it also patience. After a little while, we can smell the flavor of the meat broiled.

　　Now it’s well done. Just see the color and it looks so good! You must want to taste it.

　　Besides broil, you can also have our own special food. After all it’s in Ningbo. How about having some broiled sea food? It’s really nice for every visitor to enjoy delicious food, beer and performance here.

　　It is said that the Barbecue Festival is a part of serial activities entitled ‘2008, Harmonious Yinzhou’. The purpose of the serial activities, including a South America Carnival, a South East Asia Carnival and an Arabian Sea Food Barbecue, is to enable residents to enjoy different flavors of barbecues all over the world.
