at the university village there is a fair. now in fact, it's just a bunch of street food carts grouped in one location, but there still is a festive atmosphere that pervades. there, of course, are the guo kui people, who also sell french fries. the fries are made by taking a metal basket, and weaving julienned potatoes inside of it, so it makes a basket inside the basket. that is then deep fried. the basket is then dumped out, sprinkled with chopped onions, parsely, dried pepper flakes, and of course, msg. haven't yet tried it, but i plan to. i'm making my way slowly around the fair, trying to sample all the types of food. to be honest, this marketplace is one of the most diverse places to get food here in chengdu. and it's in my backyard. hooray!
as the week goes on, i'll be posting on a different food from each of the carts. tomorrow, cabbage tacos!
