Lunch Time

Lunch Time, Old Chongqing, China, Copyright Chris Gregory 2008

This is the last of my series on street vendors in Old Chongqing. Here the lady is cooking in the street.  In the bowl there appears to be a type of tofu, while the wok contains what looks like sliced tofu in a broth.  It is clearly a popular dish, judging by the number of people seated at the tables in the background.  Whenever we ventured into the back streets in China we came across food outlets similar to that shown above.

Food Parcels, Bamboo Leaf, Street Vendor, Old Chongqing, China, Copyright Chris Gregory 2008

This is another image in my Old Chongqing street vendor collection.  Food is prepared in a similar way to this in many countries.  Here it was wrapped in bamboo leaves.  In Greece grape leaves are used, and in the Pacific islands it is banana leaves.  Food steamed on a bamboo basket placed in a wok is a common way of cooking food in China.
