Food and thier Stalls








This is a fast food restuarant that i saw in china. this restuarant sells rice dishes and fries but no burger is sold in this shop. The price of their food are same as other fast food restaurant.











This is what a drink stall menu looks like. They usually put it on top of thier stall. Price of a item are usually state beside the food. But drinks are different as the price is depends on the size of th cup.








This is thier clay pot rice. They used rice that is cooked and put it into the pot and then the fry the indgredients ( depends on what you order), and then put the fried indgredients with the rice in the pot and cook it for a while and thats how thier clay pot rice is preapre.














The fishball soup looks like a normal soup but the only thing you will find werid is they use basin to hold and serve the soup. The other thing is that the fishball when you ate it, you will find that the texture is different from usually what you have. This is because thier fishball did not add other ingredients, they uses the meat from the fish and smash it into mud texture and make it into like a ball shape. So when u eat it i do not have those bouncy type of feeling.













This is another dish that you will find it werid because of the thing that they use to serve. In singapore, most of the non- soup dishes will usually serve by using a big plate or small one depends on the amount. But here some of the non-soup dish like this serve by using a frying pan looking thing.



This is a dish call soup bun, in chinese we call it tang bao. This dish is a dish which the filling of the bun is soup. For those whom do not know these dish may fail to tatse the real tatse of the soup inside the bun as they break the skin when they are taking it.












These is also the same dish as the above. But you see this bun looks not different, but when you taste it the amount of soup coming out is different from the above. So this dish may look the same, but in order to find a good one you will have to tatse it yourself.









This ia a pizza that we got it from the local pizza hunt. They do not serve cheese powder with the pizza and you will have to eat it without extra cheese. But overall it is a worth one to try.


A picture shows a bread shop's cake or dessert. In their shop, food are often arrange like this and a shop like most of it can sell up to 20-30 plus types of different bread or cake.















This is their own mash potatoe. They can buy instant one like this in the supermart. Comparing the mash potatoe in singapore and china, chian one will taste a bit tatseless as their mash potatoe is really only mashing up the potatoe, while singapore one will add a bit of sauce on top of it.



This is the road stall that sells deep fry food. The number of different types of food they sell can make you hard to decide which one to eat. But be sure to ask which type of meat it is as some sells dog meat.











They also sell french fries, but the french fries you see in this picture is already cooked. But then, this is what you will see before you order your fries. That means that they will deep fry the fries again when you ordered it. So the fries will taste quite oily when you are having it.

This is the machine that they use to cook to food. But take a look of the colour of the oil. It is black in colour. They use the same oil to recook people's order over and over again and thus the oil become black and it is very unheathly to consume it. I think that the oil they only change it when they open the other day. This is where your food will be place after your order is ready. They will ask you which of these bottle of sauce you want and add in according. For fries, they only had chilly and tomatoe sauce, while the rest they have everything which includes the green bottle, which contian special spicies powder which made taste a bit spicy.


This stall sells fry dumplings. The fry dumplings can be in the road stall ad normaly at evening time. Because during day time, the china people will eat steam dumplings and not fry ones. There is one more thing that they sell is a burger like food. But they uses bun to replace to bread. In china is common to see road stalls. But normall for all raod stall, they will either use a bike or a bicycle to help them to move thier stall around. But for this one, is uncommon, because they modify their into kitchen and cook and do business inside their car. A unique way of cooking food. They threw the bun or biscuits and stick it inside the pot. The fire burns at the bottom of the pot and make the whole pot hot. Then by sticking the food inside the pot the heat will cook the food.
