Breakfast Time

The Chinese eat the same foods at breakfast as at other meals.  There is a very complete breakfast bar at my hotel.  Yesterday’s breakfast consisted of cabbage, mushrooms, celery, and a vegetable resembling zucchini.  There were also hard boiled bird’s eggs, which though smaller, taste just like chicken eggs, a thin chicken rice porridge, and watermelon.  Toast and coffee were also available, a concession to Western tastes.
