Dinner Option One
Sometimes when I come home from work, I’m absurdly hungry- maybe I worked through my lunch break, maybe I covered ten kilometres just pacing and monitoring in class. It has been known to happen. I carry a pedometer as a clock in the class so I know this is a possibility.
Dinner takes a while to prepare at home. We don’t have access to ready meals or affordable canned or frozen food. If we cook, we cook from scratch. We have a fridge full of veggies. It’s lovely but we usually don’t eat until seven. Sometimes I need something to carry me through until then.
I’ve bought whole carved pineapples, fried flatbreads stuffed with spiced ground lamb and covered in sesame seeds, deep fried spring onion omelets covered in a fluffy batter and crepes stuffed with many unknown things. Most cost around 2-3rmb.
Here is a brief tour of some of the street food available at 5:30pm, between the Shanxi Nan Lu metro station and our new flat.
I think it may be chicken
