Since the airing of several episodes, from the "Shredded pork noodle" of Changsha, Hunan Province, the "Sour soup noodle" of Kaili, Guizhou Province, the "Pig blood soup" of Chaoshan, Guangdong Province, to the "Fried Buns" of Fu'an, Fujian Province, each dish makes our mouths watering.
Xueyi Rice Noodles Store
Hunan Province is well-known as the land of fish and rice. “Xueyi Rice Noodles Store” has been in operation for 23 years. Holding in hand a bowl of big bone soup noodles strewed with minced pork, then matching it with the standard 4 set series of traditional Changsha rice noodles (sour beans, sauerkraut, mustard and garlic), and putting a poached egg into the soup, we taste noodles and sip a few mouthfuls of raw soup. How amazing is it! Even "the celestial beings also can’t resist it."
Wanbo Noodle Restaurant
There is an old saying in Guizhou Province that "You even can’t walk normally if you do not eat sour food in three days." There is one kind of “sour food” in “Wanbo Noodle Restaurant” of Kaili that will make you fascinated with Guizhou.
Haiji Pig Blood Soup Store
“Staying up to the deepest night, eating the most fragrant breakfast”, this is the most suitable words used on the “Haiji Pig Blood Soup Store” of Chaoshan, Guangdong Province. The quality-conscious boss goes out to purchase the coagulated pig blood every morning. The color of good coagulated pig blood is bright red. And it should be solid when get touched. You must simmer it painstakingly with gentle heat. The Chaoshan people still have the habit of matching some side dishes as their own requirements for eating the pig blood soup.
24-meter-street Fried Buns
How can the “24-meter-street Fried Buns" of Fu'an, Fujian Province not be mentioned in this “Breakfast War”?
When each pot of fried buns get opened, it is the happiest time for the diners.This fried buns store didn't have name originally. Owing to the fried buns in the store have been delicious for more than 20 years, the nearby people named it "24-meter-street Fried Buns". This store has been regarded as the business card of this street.
Different from the deepness of the documentary "A Bite of China”, the "Breakfasts in China" takes audiences walking into the street-side local stores distributed in various places of China with modern German-script subtitles, short but precise editing methods, and a plain but humanistic way of telling.
The audiences see these bosses of breakfast stores who has been busy but never be known by diners through the simple and ordinary stories.
This group of people are those who have ordinary dreams and work hard for their dreams. They go out before sunrise and come back after sunset. What you are eating are "breakfasts" as well as what they are doing are "dreams."
Every city has a slight ray of morning light because of them.
The tomato sauce soup boiled with the green pepper in the sour soup noodle matches with the soft and smooth rice noodles dipped with the chill powders and the shallots. What a drooling scene!
