Food along the street
by Trique about Tian Xia Di Yi Fen (spicy rice vermicelli)
As the name goes, this stall claims to be selling world's number 1 rice vermicelli.
Very spicy and a bit sour, this dish is suited for the adventurous foodie. The only expression i can think of is a Singaporean term, "shiok".
Do get ready your tissues....

Nanjing is the capital of China's Jiangsu Province, and a city with a prominent place in Chinese history and culture. Nanjing (literally: 'Southern capital') served as the capital of China during several historical periods and is listed as one of the Four Great Ancient Capitals of China.
Nanjing was the capital of the Republic of China (ROC) before the Chinese Civil War. Nanjing is also one of the fifteen sub-provincial cities in the People's Republic of China's administrative structure, enjoying jurisdictional and economic autonomy only slightly less than that of a province.
Located in the lower Yangtze River drainage basin and Yangtze River Delta economic zone, Nanjing has always been one of China's most important cities. Apart from having been the capital of China for six dynasties and of the Republic of China, Nanjing has also served as a national hub of education, research, transportation and tourism throughout history. With an urban population of over 5 million, it is also the second largest commercial center in the East China region, after Shanghai.
