The Food of Kings...sort of


So here is a video of my favorite meal on a budget being made right in front of me. I walked into this place a few weeks after arriving in China, and ordered the only thing I knew how. "Niurou Mian". Beef noodles. It's a little hole in the wall place with 6 tables paired with short orange stools. But the people are friendly and the prices can't be beat. I've been coming back to this place ever since that day. They make delicious noodles for a mere 6 kaui (88 cents), and they are worth all 88 pennies. I've come to know these guys pretty well and they always say Hi to me if they see me walking past, and always smile when I walk in asking if I want "niu rou mian." But this is a must try on a visit to China.
