Chi le ma?
This will make you want to move to China!
This has become one of my favorite places immediately outside the gate to the school. And to the right is my favorite dish Niou Rou Chou la mian. That is "Cow Meat (beef) fried pulled noodles," and above you can see the guy pulling the blur of noodles!
Then of course their is a hot pot restaurant down the street. Here you just pick what every dishes you want at the counter from potatoes and beef to fish heads, crickets, grasshoppers, and grub worms. Then they calculate your bill by your plates at the end.
Here is another restaurant which has also another one of my favorites Chou r si, or fried r si. R si is another type of noodles that comes in large squares.

On Tuesday the 25th of September China will be in celebration of their Autumn Festival. A huge
part of this celebration is the consumption of Yue bing or moon cakes. There are two main different compartments of Moon Cakes, those from the North and those from the South. The ones from the North are filled with fruit flavors and have a more decorative outside. Coming in flavors like apple, hawthorn, pinneable and just about every kind of fruit. The Southern style, as depicted to the right, is different however and contains meats rather than fruit. These contain salt cured ham, chicken, and bean. Personally I much rather prefer the southern style moon cakes since the Northern ones are way too sweet.
Cooking At Home...
If I come back to the US really skinny it will not be because of the food here, it will be because I cooked too many of my own meals... It can be very difficult for a waiguoren when even shopping at WALMART to get items for food. The only thing which I have actually made is Chou fan but I often buy some new mystery item to place inside.
Thus far I have done tomato, goat cheese, chinese sausage, eggs, and one time some sardines because I thought it was dried beef...
I should maybe just quit while I am ahead...

It has become a ritual of mine to go right outside the gate every mourning to get freshly cooked Baozi. I always get xin rou (pork) but they have other kinds as well such as mushroom. You can get liang ge or 2 for 1.2 RBM so it beats the dollar menu for breakfast at 16 US cents for breakfast!
Well it may seems weird to start with dinner and end with breakfast, but when I am eating breakfast your eating dinner and when i am eating dinner your eating breakfast...
Man zou!
