New Comfort Food

Every morning I am able, I will walk to the farmers' market and get this sandwich. There's not much to it, but it is so yummy.

In China, breakfast is very much like dinner in that breakfast food is very similar to what you would order for dinner. It was fun for the first few days. Now, I'm really tired of all the oil used in the cooking and the same thing for breakfast each morning.

A couple of students discovered this place and have been 'turning-on' the rest of us ever since. The past two days we have had early meeting times and the sandwich makers don't arrive that early, so tomorrow is the next time I'll get this sandwich. I can't wait.



Description of the process:

On a spinning flat surface, he uses one ladle full of the batter and uses a metal squeegee to add these micro thin layers as it cooks. He then cracks an egg on top of the 'crepe.'

Next, he scrapes it up off the pan and she builds the sandwich. First, there is a sauce, then some chili sauce, then some lettuce and then some crispy rice bread. She folds it up and cuts it in half and for 3 Yuan you are full. That's about 50 cents.

Now to either fall asleep or get my homework done.
