Chinese traditionally ate their breakfasts at home, and those breakfasts generally consisted of porridge, steamed bread, youtiao
(fried twisted dough sticks), steamed stuffed soup, pickles, and fermented bean curd. That was then. Nowadays, with the ever-quickening rat race, Chinese are spending less time at the breakfast table. Countless office workers, especially the younger generation, seem to prefer quick breakfasts, virtually on the go, in small restaurants near their offices, or at roadside stalls.It would be an
understatement to say they have greater, more convenient, breakfast options than their parents had.
