How it goes: 1. Your host meets you at the door of an ordinary apartment or lane house. 2. Tea first, while the last dishes finish. 3. Six or seven dishes plus rice and soup come out of the wok one at a time, shared family-style. Your host explains each one. 4. Stay and talk. Most meals run past two hours. 5. Leave with your host's own tips: the noodle shop they go to, the market worth a morning. Every host cooks their own family's food. The sample menu below is a taste from different tables.
