The lunch spot I often go to has long operating hours and quick service. It's the place I think of when I want some hot soup. However, there are fewer staff, so I need to be clear when placing my order. I think the rice porridge, vermicelli, and udon noodles are all pretty good, and the hot pot ingredients can be switched to a vegetable package (which includes mushrooms and tofu). For an additional 20 yuan, I can get an extra serving of vegetables, making it just 140 yuan! It's quite a meal with a good amount of vegetables for eating out. I usually order it with a little spiciness and no satay sauce, the broth is flavorful enough for me, but some colleagues find it too bland.

Recently, they've added new items to the menu, and I tried the stir-fried udon noodles, which have a quite unique flavor… it feels like they've stir-fried it with fermented bean paste and vinegar, giving it a very local and homely taste. The braised pig skin has a strong garlic flavor, but it's not difficult to eat.
