How locals do it

A round-the-clock neighbourhood noodle shop. The 辣肉面 (spicy pork noodles) is the house order and the 炸猪排 (fried pork chop) makes it a full meal. Cheap, fast, no ceremony.

Don't get this wrong

Peak lunch is a scrum and there is little English; point at what others are eating. Cash is not the norm — use WeChat or Alipay.
