Engrish?

I am sure the food is much nicer than that noun can ever convey, whatever the adjective.. Of course, maybe they are going for a rustic sound. Actually, I like the sound of that.

Power restaurant

I go to this place quite often. Just outside the Langao line 7 subway stop, I often buy a snack to eat in. Now that a friend has kindly provided me with the key Mandarin phrases to get food to take away, if it is later in the evening when I get home, I get the food to go.

This is noodles, with beef I believe. It was okay, but the beef was rather chewy and bland. They have nicer noodle dishes.

Some chicken place

This place (ahem, the yellow one) is just outside the Changping line 7 subway exit. They sell small portions of expensive things like deep fried pumpkin (~5 RMB each). And they sell large portions of spicy breaded tenderised chicken breast (10 RMB each).

Usually they slice and dice the chicken, then stick a jabby stick into a piece so you can eat it without messing your hands. However, one time, they just bagged the huge piece of chicken and handed it over as is.
