Shaanxi food names are surprisingly so refined, did you know?
Lately I've been hooked on Ode to Joy,
watching it over and over several times,
as a single dog,
every time I watch them go to a fancy Western restaurant to eat,
it's always this expression...
Going out for Western food every day is a bit impossible for myself,
but turning our food into Western food is totally doable!
Just think, if the food we often eat got a fancy high-end name,
it would be awesome in no time!

there is something interesting in food everywhere,
what's missing is just a pair of eyes to discover it.
