At the supermarket, Hangzhou

I love it: In the middle of the Carrefour (the equivalent of Coles), they have a huge fresh dumpling section. Dumplings are dirt-cheap (though not quite as good as those off the street), and everyone’s thoroughly bored by the concept. Dumplings everywhere — whatever.

In the dumpling section I found these Peking duck take-away packages for about AUD3.40. As you can see, the serve is massive.

Sometimes the Chinese don’t know how lucky they are.
