After staring at the market all afternoon, my brain was buzzing. I finally shut my laptop and headed downstairs for a bowl of Chaoshan beef kway teow. The broth was so flavorful—the first sip brought me right back to life. The beef was perfect after just eight seconds in the broth, unbelievably tender. The owner asked if I wanted it spicy. I said yes, and it was so spicy I was sweating buckets, but I still had to finish the soup. On the way back, I bought a box of sliced pineapple and munched on it as I walked. Mantou is probably sleeping at home again and doesn’t really want to see me. Sometimes, this one hot bowl of noodles is all that gets me through late nights 🍜 Back to the grind tomorrow.
