Basically, in my parents hometown, there is not exactly a whole lot of differences in food there and here. You can almost find everything there in some Chinese specialized food stalls and restaurants and a Singapore, such examples are 凉拌面, The traditional one which as it name says, is cold noodles mixed with cucumber strips, crushed peanuts, spring onion and the extra spicy chilli, giving it an extra kick. There are many variations of this dish, from many parts of China. There are lines with sesame oil, chicken strips, onions

Youth Culture
