China 38: Tell me how dirty your floor is, i'll tell you how good your food tastes
19 February 2009

A good indicator of popular—thus usually tasty and cheap—eats: how much has yet been cleaned off the floor. This is the floor of a breakfast joint [around 9 am] where two can both eat bowls of hot sweet bean porridge and a basket full of steamed pork buns for less than a dollar. I love it.
