Fast food, Chinese style

I was in my favourite noodle shop in Central (Hong Kong) for lunch, enjoying a bowl of king prawn dumpling noodle, a side order of green vegetables with oyster sauce, and a glass of soya milk. Delicious and nutritious fast food, and relatively cheap at HK$49 (£3.79). 

I couldn't help wondering why anyone would prefer your typical Western fast food like McDonald's or KFC, except I've just been told that a Big Mac meal with fries and Coke is still the cheaper option at about HK£25 (£1.94). What a depressing thought.

In seven days I'll be crossing the border into mainland China, taking the sleeper train from Hong Kong to Beijing. I wonder what the fast food situation is like. What am I going to be eating?!

I'd put money on you eating just as well, and cheaply too!

    ... or a record of a Filipina's adventures in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). 

    I am a practitioner of traditional acupuncture based  at Violet Hill Studios in St. John's Wood and in Hampstead Garden Suburb, both located in north London.

    ​I am registered and fully insured with the British Acupuncture Council. I studied Chinese Medicine at the Confucius Institute of TCM (within the London South Bank University) and at the First Affiliated Hospital of Heilongjiang University of Chinese Medicine in Harbin, China.
