Laogui's Favourite Breakfasts in China (1) I am always on the lookout for doufunao (dounao), doufuhua (douhua), but it seems it is usually sold only by the street vendors; at least I have only ever had it squatting on a three-legged stool by the roadside. I've found it in Shenzhen Ningbo Xi'an and Beijing. Often it is only available in the sweet form (tiande 甜的 tián de), and I am not interested - it's the savoury (xiande 咸的 xián de, salty) one that does it for me! The photo is of dounao with youtiao 油條; the soup seems to be a thickened geng 羹. This one I found in Beijing, where I stayed briefly on my journey back from Liaoning to Guangxi. If I remember rightly it cost 3rmb plus 1rmb for the breadstick - about 70 cents. Douhua 豆花, dòuhuā is a Chinese snack made with very soft tofu. Youtiao, 油條 yóutiáo, also known as Chinese doughnut, or fried breadstick Geng 羹 gēng, is type of thick soup found in Chinese cuisine http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douhua http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geng_(dish) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/You_tiao
