The street food of China - MyPictureDay #29

Every crack in the wall opens up to expose another world behind it.

Food culture really fascinates me and as an expat in China, it really is captivating. A new world to be explored, unfamiliar to the average Londoner. The streets, jostling with unique personalities, unfamiliar faces and unknown traditions. The alleyways, fabulously cluttered with food shacks and rickety stalls selling pungent-smelling, yet wonderfully tasting edible delights to feast to one's heart's content. I tried to capture some of these moments...

There is no right or wrong place nor time to eat. No eating restrictions in chaotic surroundings. If hunger strikes then why not satisfy it.

Fruit and veg stalls at every street corner, the owners, happily enjoying each meal of the day at their place of work.

Naked BBQs on glossy black, smooth pebbles emitting heat and meaty wafts to their surroundings.

Backstreets filled with students, snacking and smoking until the early hours of the morning.

Children filling up on their daily dose of sugar-highs from popping corn vendors.

Craftsmen creating their artisan skewers, complete with squid, pork and beef, ready to be consumed by the hungry passers-by.

All photos were taken with my boyfriend's trusty Nikon D7500 camera.

I feel a little impatient asking this, but did timsaid ever transfer your winning price? Or did he say something about a date that he will do so?

Hi @davedavis91, Oh i don't think he has actually, I've not been keeping updated!

He might be busy....

Yes, it has happened in the past with other contest runners and they can just often be busy but I’m sure you could always send a gentle reminder. I’ve done that in the past and they’ve been thankful for it because they simply were so busy they forgot or just didn’t have the time :-)

No problem,... I'll ask again in a few days. See if he responds

The style is a little different in China than what I saw in Vietnam. Some similarities. In a very general way, everything I see in your photos here I've seen in Vietnam. The differences are very subtle.

I really must visit Vietnam :-)
