Eating tanghulu in winter makes your mouth sweet, grabbing a jianbing in the morning feels convenient and warm, or sharing soy milk and fried dough with a friend. These snacks are simple, but behind them is connection between people. What you taste isn’t just the flavor, but also the feeling of the moment.
