On our way to an early morning hike in Zhangjiajie National Park, we passed by a string of local restaurants, open to their clientele for a hearty breakfast.
The local breakfast seemed to be based around noodles, boiled fresh to order and paired with your selection from a variety of spicy broths. Other options included steamed dumplings (饺子；jiaozi) or simple rice porridge with toppings such as salted peanuts, marinated cucumbers, and preserved vegetables.
Not a bad way to start the day, if you ask me. (Although, those spicy broths could be potentially dangerous)
Hm it looks good, but I don’t know about breakfast. I am a pancakes-and-eggs type of person. Though I suppose I’ll have to get used to non-Western breakfast foods eventually! I have a friend who CANNOT eat anything but traditional breakfast foods for his first meal of the day — regardless of the time. Like, he would never go to brunch and order a hamburger. Even if his first meal is at like 12 or 1 p.m. Cold leftover pizza? No way.

Yeah, I’m able to take down a bowl of congee, but not really a whole bowl of noodles at 7am in the morning. I’ve got to say though, seeing what other countries eat for their breakfasts is verrry interesting. A lot less of a hullabaloo that what Americans make theirs (ours!) out to be!!
