Tastes better than it looks
The hutongs have these great little breakfast / snack shops where you can grab food on your way to work. I usually get an egg sandwich (Jiá jī dàn, the literal translation is something like “wrap egg”) for my walk to the subway station. You can also get these with chinese sausage, which I usually avoid (although I’ve had it once or twice due to miscommunication issues).
1 RMB = US$ 0.125 — the egg sandwich is the third one from the top
The shop has a lot more on the menu, I’m trying to branch out as my language skills (and digestive system) improve.
